about

Track 2 in our odyssey. Sometimes mythology is all we have left. Those lingering secs when the losing hand is still only known to you. Free as a charmed hustle. Written where we land—in the hands of a skeleton ...

PS- Of course I cribbed the title. (refrain in verse one for my tip of the hat). PS2- Recording note: the only instance I can recall where I responded ... "I dunno, what would Bernie Worrell do?"

lyrics

Living with the living
and dying with the shape I’m in
We’re lost in the purple mountains
If I’m remembering

Living with the living
and dying with the shape they see
The only smoke I see on the horizon
Is coming right after me

The pharmacist spread the pills
I took the cure to stop my ills
The literature gave me chills

Living with the living
Save us from the blind man’s screed
Save us from the sights behind us
Save us from the 21st century

Living with the living
We held the vane up to the sky
Said winds are masticating
the seeds of the demise

The minister dropped the news
That Noah rebuilt in twos
Those was guilty if they refused

Barbed wire, thumb-ties, satchel and rope
They’re coming to take our names
Someone hide the dope

Living with the living
and dying with the shape I’m in
The smoke I see on the horizon
Soon be round the bend

The regrets came today
Savior wasn’t coming anyway
Said play as long as you can play
