The most beautiful thing to ever be written: - screw_ball - 04-30-2008
Ascetic-thin, coveted by vultures
And rendered child-like by the road
Das Hips repair to leeward culture
They back the truck up and unload
And get down to finding fresh pretense
To mistake the dream for prescience
The one where Siren's honey tones
Lead us up to the microphones
Her instructions couldn't be more plain:
"Fear no reflection, fear no art,
Let the manual be your heart
The blues are still required again."
The trouble at the henhouse is,
Her voice, it lulls, then vanishes.

I remember that was written inside the tour program for ARA '97.

I vaguely remember this. My memory of the handwritten Insomniacs lyrics are much better though.
A quality find -- I'm getting excited for the summer. Bellevegas can't come soon enough.
Cheers,
Pat

I forgot about this and ran across it tonight:
ascetic thin coveted by vultures
and rendered child like by the road
das hips repair to leeward culture
they back the truck and unload
and get down to finding fresh pretence
to mistake the dream for prescience
the one where siren's honey tones

fear no art fear no reflection

the blues are still required again

For all those of us rendered childlike by the road, this deserves a bump.
Re: The most beautiful thing to ever be written: - SoylentGreg - 05-26-2016
Man, I haven't talked to Screwy in years. We used to be AIM buddies - anyone remember AIM?
I'm sure he'd be happy to see this bumped.
