A Bolanic revision of Orpheus Descending
Prince of Players, Pawn of none Born with steel reins on the heart of the Sun Gypsy explorer of the New Jersey Heights Exalted companion of cocaine nights 'Cos he's a Dandy in the Underworld Dandy in the Underworld When will he come up for air, Will anybody ever care At an old eighteen exiled he was To the deserted kingdoms of a mythical Oz Distraction he wanted, to destruction he fell Now he forever stalks the ancient Mansions of hell Now his lovers have left him And his youth's ill spent He cries in the dungeons and tries to repent But change is a monster and changing is hard But he'll freeze away his summers in his Underground yard |

The beat of bondage stalks on
Hey little girl you move so fine All I want to do is melt your mind Under the crimson moon Under the crimson moon I wanna feel your heat under the crimson moon I wanna feel your heat under the crimson moon You can shake your torpedoes You can shoot your gun You can mix your martinis From the blood of the sun I'm a chartreuse lover I am an indigo man In the black of the night I'll hold your lily white hand |

A fool's lament is the wiseman's milkshake
I'm standing winding staircase, seven eagles long Misty planet creature how could I kiss you wrong The Poet wished upon a star And dazzling bright is what you are I'm a fool for you girl, I'm a fool for you girl I'm a fool for you girl, I'm a fool for you girl Dripping dancing diving, lipstick of the brave Sullen Garbo siren, your body's all I crave Hot baby I'm a fool for you |

We love to boogie,
we love to boogie, Jitterbug boogie, Bolan pretty boogie, We love to boogie, on a Saturday night. Belinda Mae Fender's got a Cadillac Bone, Jenny lost her cherry walking all the way home, The passions of the Earth blasted it's mind, Now it's neat sweet ready for the moon based grind. We love to boogie, We love to boogie on a Saturday night, I said we love to boogie, We love to boogie, High school boogie, Jitterbug boogie We love to boogie, on a Saturday night. You rattlesnake out with your tailfeathers high, Jitterbug left and smile to the sky With your black velvet cape and your stovepipe hat, Be-bop baby the dance is where it's at. I love to boogie, Yes I love to boogie on a Saturday night, I said I love to boogie, I love to boogie, Jitterbug boogie, I love to boogie, I love to boogie, on a Saturday night. I love to boogie, I love to boogie, I love to boogie, I love to boogie, I love to boogie, on a Saturday night. |

Her love is hot, but mine is not
This woman is a perfumed breeze Greek Gods recline on her knees I'd freeze the sun to kiss her ear It all makes up the visions I call Domino It all makes up the visions I call Domino Right now A suit of doubt she gave to me In return I cried a sea Of poet's tears and something more I camped outside her velvet doors Love's a freak and it moves fast My marble dream it could not last Now every time this girl I see She tries to chain me to her tree |

A distant friend of Johnny B. Goode
Jason B. Sad was a lonely lad His head was a bed for everyone His clothes was his life but his heart was a knife Inscribed on it was "rock 'n' roll is cruel" Take me to school, boy Leave me alone, boy Slice me a bone of the Universe Take me to school, boy Leave me alone, boy Slice me a bone of the Universe Jason got weird and he pierced his ears A gypsy alone in his gallantry He met Shaky Sue, who wore only blue And they shared in their teenage misery Then Jason read books and wore hard looks He swapped Sue for an artisan His winters were long and a fantastic song Grew from his head like a marigold |

To groove is to lubricate your imagination
You can call somebody captain Under pressure you can flip You can be a rock commando But you can't pilot the ship Groove a little baby, groove a little now Groove a little baby, you might know what you want But I'll show you how You can trip the light fantastic Become a space grotesque You can fossilize your thought dreams Behind a rusty desk You might know what you want But I'll show you how You can read the works of Shakespeare In the Academy of Life You can punk the skunks of freedom With you jeweled Etruscan knife |

A punkoid opera in C flat and razor sharp
We have traveled pain and love To call ourselves high born Living in a maze so crazed, lunacy is legend Lunacy is legend Words I fear that clutch my crutch And drive your senses crazy Men or women too get blue, so don't make living hazy No don't make living hazy Once in youth the wisdom crouched Deep inside my bedroom Visitations now are scarce, winter life is lonely Now winter life is lonely Temples that are bleak and bleached Are bleached up on the highway God of truth returned just once and made my prison homely Don't make my life so lonely |

Teen riot structure, ankle deep in fear
Babies lost in bellies and the oracle can't hear A demon angel demi-god blasted through the night Me and Lucy Lightning holding on real tight An ancient Lord in wonder rung upon my bell I fed him with my nightmares And he ate my dreams as well All London was in blazes burning to the sound Of deep galactic tragedies in stereophonic sound A tempest teen of stature in Gatsby hat and cloak Licked upon my lollipop, but I didn't get the joke As devastation mounted my wardrobes almost burned The teens held hands on shifting sands and wonder what they learnt Repeat in toto Structure Teen riot structure |
