i was a memory in my eyes
drippin from ceilings of cavern miles
sad in the country, sad in the towns
sad with the memory i had found
when you read my poem
sad to be around
we're young but we feel old
indigo souls in a runaround
painted a rainbow in the sky
made it a memory
stars came a fallin from a long dark road
we'd paved with our foreheads years ago
saw me in a vision late last night
you dreamt of your monkey in a hall of souls
the king black panther tried to claw your arm
you saw me as a memory strangle myself
arise from the ashes with rainbow wings
a new diamond skeleton, and newborn flesh
search in my body for the man you knew
you'll never see him
