I′m a tell you right now

Stop this song and put on

Vangelis, it's a nice ride or

So you took some acid

That′s alright, you're good

I been there myself many times

And it's nice to hear somebody

Who can talk

That knows something about

What′s happening

So I wanted to record this if you

Or somebody else needed somebody

Talking they could take time to sit back and listen

And know

It′s just a temporary thing

That was important to me

Being in each minute

I'm an old guy, nearly sixty

Probably not too cool

I′ve got a buddy Noam Chomsky

Who's an old guy too

I ask him about plots for science fiction stuff

Mostly linguistic conundrums he′s a

Linguistics guy, really smart

And so nice, he always answers me

Whatever I ask, even listens to my songs

So far he's appreciated all of them

That was important to me

Being in each minute

Like a picture frame

Remembering back

It was like each moment was in a frame like a picture

And changes the frame for a second each second replaces another frame

And they all connect just like the real world

Where all the moments lead to and back to each other moment

In to and fro and behind, future and past meeting like, forever

In the right now moment frame

All connected in the trails like the ones where the frames are trails

Like 12 of your hands one in front of all the rest

Like an afterglow with each trail birthing other

Trails evening up everything

Then all the frames zoomed out all aligned

That was cool, I don′t know if you're there yet

In your trip or if you're at the beginning when

You′re really high but totally aware

Totally with it, where if someone was saying

Peanut butter over and over

You′d be like yeah it's funny sure it′s funny

But you knew they were just fucking with you

Trying to throw you off or something

You could see through the ruse like thin paper

It's shadows

That person saying peanut something is

Not going to throw you off your game

The fame or frame

You shouldn′t listen to rap

One thing that was funny I remember

Was the time you'd see stuff that wasn′t there

And you knew it wasn't there because three blinks

And it goes away for a second or you can see through

One sixteenth of the spaceship or whatever like just the middle

And you know it isn't real, you know it′s not like an invisible

Camera from a different dimension or anything that

Only becomes visible every once in awhile when you′re high

And you know I'm just F′ing with you right. Right

This is just a time thing

I'm not timing you, that′s for eggs

You time an egg. Like 3 minutes for a runny yolk

Runny yolk the yellow part is the sun or it represents

The sun a referent or is it a signifier it's a sign

That says sun with color and roundness and height

Yolkiness

Ooh I′ve got a neat project

If you crack an egg 12 inches from the table

Like a kitchen table or one with bunnies, not knives

And the yolk has to fall to the table

Whatever table you choose

So the egg yolk and yellow sunny side

Has to fall from where you cracked it

To the table you know gravity and stuff it always works

It's scientific

The egg innards are going to fall for certain

But in order for them to fall 12 inches they have to fall 6 inches

First, and they have to fall three inches before that.

Before they fall three inches they have to fall 1.5 inches

But before they do that they have to fall half that distance, like 3/4 of an inch

And you could do this forever, it's forever math

Because scientifically you can never ever get to the distance

Which you can′t divide it by half

You could get to the size of an atom, and divide that space by half

And as they say, go ad infinitum

So space is impossible, right Wow, is that cool? I don′t know, maybe

What do I think.

Maybe time is the same way, for an hour to go by it needs a half hour

But before that 15 minutes, 7 minutes, 1/100th of a minute

One trillionth of a minute ad infinitum

So time and space impossible Science says add up all the frames

And you get a whole number, the number one

Take that Zeno, Take That Pascal

I was on the trip squad at the 20th anniversary of Woodstock

I had hitchhiked across the nation again

Removing myself from my friends so I could

Stay away from junk and all the other stuff even alcohol

And I met some great people who got me a job

At the medical tent working on the trip squad

I got to see the bands periodically, Sawyer Brown

And Melanie, Richie Havens, John Sebastian and a bunch of others

And I was one of the trip squad, talking people down who

Got on a bad trip, I'm good at that, even clean

That′s rare, most people tripping don't want a straight person

But I′m like that wavelength burnt out I guess a little maybe

And I won't talk about that festival anymore

So what really happened to Michael Jackson do you think

Anyway just messing with you didn′t mean any of it after the egg thing

So don't concentrate on a third eye or anything

Just stay mellow

If something big happens there's a 90 percent chance it′s not really happening

So walk calmly to a place where you′re safe and trust the people

Who look worried. I hope nothing big happens and you have a great night

And morning. It's not going to last more than 10 hours, and that

Might seem like a long time but it′s not really

It's going to be alright, quiet is good most of the time

John Lennon is good to listen to

Elliott Smith, Roger Eno′s Between Tides might be the

Best to listen to if you can find it

I might not see you because I can't leave the frames I′m in

I can't see past these walls in 2022

But I want you to know that I care about you

I really do

There's so much wrong with people these days

But there′s one thing I can count on

I love my fans

They′re a mess, for real, but I love my fans

And if you've stuck with this song this long

Then I consider you a fan

And I love you, no matter who you are you mean everything

To me, right now where you are and where I am

These trails stretch out to one another

I love you

Thanks for being there and thanks for being here

Before I go relax and let me give you a kind vision

So like, eyes open or closed, let′s say open so you don't get distracted

By the closed creations

You′re at a beach, in a modest but comfortable bamboo shack

The colors of light brown for bamboo, a wall of small brown cylinder husks

Light brown sand of your feet and aqua foam color of the water

Blue sky and salty breeze gentle on your bare chest, just you and me

Eyes closed enjoying the salt and breeze, lets live here for a few seconds

Only thinking of our being here right now

And this is where I leave you loving who you are and how you are I love you
