Where I Come From

I come from never sleeping rust
From an astrology of kicked-up dust
From tantric turntables playin the soulphonic sounds of Motown lemme hear ya get down
From rock and roll uranium 238, which is made up of 92 protons of sweat and
146 neutrons of turn it up to 10
I come from a double back flip
From one of Cary Grant's acid trips
From a Steve McQueen car chase and the Mona Lisa's face
I come from you sleeping quietly in bed
From the X on Manson's forehead
I come from the slow inhale of opium moments
Opium moments winding through time, connecting to places deep inside us
Places deep inside us that say…

Every moment is a breath / Every breath is a word / Every word is love / Every love is now / Every now is everything

I come from a dense lexicon of dog logic
From the gestalt of the Rock of Gibraltar
From I like what you do but don't quit your day job
I come from the smell of gasoline / From the spark of first fire / From a triple ohm choir
From three hits of white crosses at a Kiss Concert circa the Love Gun Tour
I come from Are you sure we should be doing this?
From the Grim Reaper's belly button lint
From babbling Scrabble pieces and an abracadabra thesis
I come from the vibration of bells / Bells that sing down into the places deep inside us
Places deep inside us that say…

Every moment is a breath / Every breath is a word / Every word is love / Every love is now / Every now is everything

I come from humming bird beer burps
From evening's first song in a cricket church
From what part of NO do you not understand?
From Hey Joe where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
I come from absinth kisses and Cadillac Ranch blisses
From a knife in the chest to Stop You're Under Arrest
From the first breath of first life / from a pillow fight
From Did he fire six shots or only five?
I come from the language of honey bees / From a bee's knees
And if you please I come from a horse  / A horse in the blood that knows no fear
A horse in the blood that gallops full on 
Wild and wanting into those places deep inside us
Places deep inside us that say…

Every moment is a breath / Every breath is a word / Every word is love / Every love is now / Every now is everything / Every now is everything / Every now is everything
