'Word On the Wind'

(Say, did you hear the one about the guy who saw action in inaction and inaction in action?)

Sitting on my hillside waiting for the word on the wind.
When She still ain’t talking most rockers go awalkin’
There exactly Nicodemus come in.
No one asked us to volunteer and very few are very clear
But deep down most (people) suspect that She’s afootin’.
She’ll speak with emotion, through your friends like ‘cross an ocean.
Seems to me she gets your brain reeling, Puddin’.

You rock and you roll and your languages cajole into mantras meaning, “Gimme. Make me groovy.”
But that which you fear cannot be gotten out of here
Especially asking for it (by) watching scary movies.
Your hiding and jiving, dodging waves of crying, fearing, shocking – rocks you deep within really.
That dying you’re so ‘fraid of is secret sauce in the hot tub
‘Boil, Boil, Toil and Trouble’ ‘tendr i-umph!

Finally I hear Her wisper in my right ear saying softly, boldly,
“Funny, Honey Wanna?”
She seems elated in fact that despite being whacked I’ve survived to come enjoying Her fun.
This tuning to the Goddess is knocking me unconscious.
She’s always way too much for me, ya know ?
That which you hear the dark pretend to be fear She say,
“No bo’ show. Don’t go.”

She’s telling me why people kill and they die for just a glimpse of the renowned “Isle of View”.
Oh, so you too now do Voodoo, another brother flew –
those patients Dr. Nicodemus, whew!
In this zero sum game there’s only one Holy Name:
‘Happiness At Home In Due Season’.
In this zero sum game there’s only one wholey sane:
Piece of Mind, you’re there with good reason.
In this zero sum game there’s nobody to blame,
shoulder the Earth like Atlas or like a Jesus.
In the ears of dudes or dames there’s only one holy bane:
Gift of Discretion, it’s open season.

It’s justice, in fact, that hits you ‘Whap!’
Thus She wakes you from this dream in which you’re teasing.
