Up There Down There

Up there
Theres a ball of fire
Some call it the spirit
Some call it the sun
Its energies are not for hire
It serves man / it serves everyone
Down there where jonah wails
In the healing water
In the ready depths
Twisting like silver swans
No line of death no boundaries
Up there
The eye is hollow / the eye is winking
The winds ablaze / angels howling
The sphinx awakens / but what can she say
Youd be amazed
Down there
Your days are numbers
Nothing to fear
There will be trumpets
There will be silence
In the end the end
Will be here just here
Ahh the borders of heaven
Are zipped up tight tonight
The abstract streets
The lights like some switched on mondrian
Cats like us are obsolete
Hey man dont breathe on my feet
Thieves, poets were inside out
And everybodys a soldier
Angels howl at those abstract lights
And the borders of heaven
Are zipped up tight tonight
Up there
Theres a ball of fire
Some call it the spirit
Some call it the sun
Its energies are not for hire
It serves man / it serves everyone
The air we breathe
The flame of wisdom
The earth we grind
The beckoning sea
Its no mystery / not sentimental
Ahh the equation / its all elemental
The world is restless
Heaven in flux / angels appear
From the bright storm
Out of the shadows
Up there, down there
But what can we say
Mans been forewarned
All communion is not holy
Even those that fall
They can prophet understanding
Its all for man / its for everyone
Its up there, down there
Everywhere / everywhere
Time for communion / time for communion
Talking communion …
