Egan



Twisting all the way
He came down south looking for a savior
Been out for a day (Looking for a way)
To figure out figures and this strange behavior

Figures don’t speak to him
Figurines are dim and grim
Sylphs and syllogisms don’t live in symbiosis
Blessed be him who invented prognosis

Jiving all the way
He came down south looking for a savior
Been gone for days (Looking for a way)
To remember, to forget, to filtrate, perpetuate
Yes, maybe he’ll write about it later

Figures don’t speak to him
Figurines are dim and grim
Sylphs and syllogisms don’t live in symbiosis
Blessed be him who invented prognosis

Twisting all the way
Looking for the man whose records he plays
His shoe laces do not obey
Finding that corner, he thought of some famous words to say
The shiny piece of iron dearly paid
After that, everything fades to grey

Figures don’t speak to him
Figurines are dim and grim
Sylphs and syllogisms don’t live in symbiosis
Blessed be him who invented prognosis

So that we always know
When to show off with our new umbrellas
While the world is falling down

Dancing all the way
Looking for a man who’ll hear him play
Before everything fades to grey
The holy man put his hand on him
He stopped dancing
Collapsing with a grin
His chin on some children’s chalk sketch
And ink swallowing everything

They cut him open to satisfy the press
But no answers whatsoever
The body weighed forty pounds less
The heavy man weighed light as a feather
