lyrics

THE SLINGS

“To be or not to be?” The question @ the heart of me,
The beauties & the curses & the deadliest of skies.
The slings & arrows fly, I choose another day to die…
‘Cos everybody here says “Hi!”

Merchants of Desire & the Guests
Masters of the Vision & the Quests
Paragons of Virtue & the Ruck
Dance a Tango with Lady Luck

Juno in the tempest scorned … He couldn’t say he hadn’t been warned. Grand Dukes, Princes & Czars … History unwritten in scars.
Hades, Erebus & Styx … built the bloody wells with bricks.
Nuit – Our lady of the Star … Well I think that she’s come real far…
Yeah I think she’s come far!

Walls of superstition cannot hide the apparition,
In conditions, during missions he occasionally drops by.
Ragism & Tagism are busy watching out for him…
‘Cos everybody here says “Hi!”
Prophets of Reality & Rhyme
Guardians of Purgatory & Time

You ran away from me, I knew you weren’t no missionary,
But something of a visionary, or nothing in between.
Where are you bleeding from? It’s oozing from another song…
‘And everybody here says “Hi!”

His roar is bigger than his bite, but you know he’ll put you out of sight!

Orpheus – his head is in the stream … He’s screamin’ loud he’s been cut clean! The Sirens are a-wailing in the dell … I can hear them all the way from hell! Fanatic opposition torn … Everyone must be reborn. Kin – Red Night of the Realm … Well I think he gonna make a great film…Yeah a really great film!

LadyTree, we got so dreadful low, and even little children know!

Lived the summer fantasy with Queen of Sensuality,
and Maiden of Vitality - the one that got away,
She works enchanted wood … where everyone is feelin’ good
And everybody there says “Hi!”

I owe you one life and a lake ... Yours to drink and yours to take

For all belonged to all except thieves … Pilfering their moments from chiefs. At the Temple of the sun she glides … and he’s no longer on the slide. The rustle of the lovers in the breeze … hanging in the air, unfreezed. Love the lucky lady in the car … Well I think she’s gonna go far…Yeah she’s gonna go far! ‘Cos she really is a Star!

“Hey Phantom of the irony and shame. are you ready?
Shall we play the next game?”
