Last bite from the apple

Written and performed by Sean Selig McMahon

 

this is about a boy who took his last bite from the apple

as he lost his last key to the castle

a very long time ago

 

yea he lost his brain to the crazies of the kingdom

lost his organs to the interplanetary machine gun

and got sucked into a black hole.

 

the ufo materialized and identified itself

as number 0-2-3-4-6-8-9 hyphen 6-6-3-5

and that is why the boy knew he was still alive

 

the lifeforms froze his soul in a machine

and kept his body clean

while they watched the earth and took notes and took tokes

from the same well of sensation that we all have been drunk from before

 

and the sun is a pupil of the eye of the storm

and the storm is the nephew of the son of the word

 

this is about a boy who took his last bite from the apples

came upon a parable in outer space

and brought it back to teach a few souls who got lost in place

 

space is the wood in the yard, music the grain

the tune is the song of the sacred & profane

its rhythm is the syllables in your name

 

thanks to ufos & spaceships and cosmological facelifts

we're spewing out the message of the stars as it is so far

so far as the eyes see and ears hear we are here

merely to be here.

 

and the sun is a pupil of the eye of the storm

and the storm is the nephew of the son of the word

and the earth is the witness to the song of the spheres

and the spheres are the dreams that we dream while we're here
