Planet Queen

Maybe tomorrow if the sun don't shine
I'm gonna walk around until I find
Somebody to treat me kind
Come up to my lighthouse for I have something I wish to say
It can wait for a moment
Well in fact it can wait all day
A day is forever these days
I just wanted to bring you up here so you could have the chance to see
The beauty of this situation that
You share with me
It may seem strange
To talk of love and lighthouses
It's not strange to me
Because a coat of grapes is on my back again
All alone, you and I in our high tower
What a way to be
Some laugh at my lighthouse they say it's just an ivory tower
But I don't mind because I know
Their envy grows by the hour
See I have a purpose up here to guide the ships upon their way
Some call me Amphitrite
Sometimes she flails beneath his waves
Quells all of his storms
Beware his trishula
More cutting than his words
Come play in my garden of anemones
She lusts for the urchin hiding under his sea
We live deep beneath their ancient shadows, stunned with ages
All this is mine
It could be yours too
His lady is his lioness
What do you say?
Screaming in sheer dazzling raiment
She likes to watch the moon as it travels through the sky
Winds of birds blow around what light they can find
Coz she's heard that it's romantic
And she has too much wisdom
Someone should have helped her through the day
Someone like her moon
So she drinks another coffee and telephones a friend
And she asks if she can make it so this night will never end
But the light comes and the day bleeds through the sky and the sun
The sun makes it hard to get through
And the radio only plays love songs so she cries
Though she knows it's such a bad thing to do
In the evening it gets better
And she thinks how it's not right
Can't you see? Can't you see?
Someone should have helped her through the day
Someone like her moon
Life is fast, now
Whenever you're uncertain how
This unsure do you know
Love dies faster, fast
When you think it can never last
Take me please if you go
I wrote you a letter
I threw it away
I need him
I know I don't need him
I need him
Your legendary girlfriend
She will cry tonight
Oh no she doesn't feel right
The sky blackens and his bass string slackens
The Song of Songs as a Mandala of Love
She's got no-one to hold
Her love is a sham
He is dancing somewhere
He bangs his hand on her stage again
Oh no he don't care oh well, he'll never know
And all the stars came out tonight and the moon came on it's face
It shone right through the dress she wore
It shone right through the clothes she wore
And the stars and the moon
And the stars all came down today
Oh please love me
Good God now!
Walking from the scene of some humiliation feeling like a dog
Walking from the scene of some romantic triumph feeling like God
Walk towards the small town lights
Felt brighter than the lot of them
Can have anything, can never fail
The will to power, the force of destiny and efficiency
Generations glimpse the high pitch, play it for real
Judging, analysing, losing, sinking, swimming, striving, longing,
failing
Weak flesh speeds on all the needs
Suck and sate, forces of fate
A polemic, a sharp cutter, a fashion, a spirit, a simplicity
Come through the door in my big dark oak tree
I want to know how it feels
Cause I only play act for real
You should be picking me up
But you're not around
I thought i could touch the stars
I lie alone at night
My wild grinning cyclopean pagan
I don't know where you are
Must have better things to do
Teardrops into tears
Every second I'm not with you
Losing my years
My thunderbolt master savior
My gold galactic raver
Drown beneath your waves
I sleep but my heart waketh
It is the voice of of my beloved that knocketh
Saying open to me my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled
Yes, and I do mean yes
I will never stop loving you
I resign myself to my days without you
You singh
You
Everywhere
Lioness
Poetess
Mistress
Distress
Mayfair
Larger than bloody life
Lady
Take my blessings with you
Wherever you must go

Ahhh... amen.
