I swear that engineer on the that west bound freight train is some old blues man playing that locomotive horn it comes so fast it lingers for a while and then the melody fades
and I can't get to hear it again till the next train comes balling down the tracks.
gotta get it while ya can
gotta listen to the music when
you got them metaphysical homelessness blues again

so left to the blues we sing that in lieu
of which
we cannot know how blue is blue too
those bending notes or that devil with a blue dress on
or that famous meeting with Robert Johnson where the roads dance in the wind blown night with a big ole black bird sitting on the top of the tree, sayin what he means
caw caw caw, can't you hear me sqwak into bird talk
we prefer blue birds though we have recourse to the blues
gotta tell it like it is gotta spread the good and evil news
prayin to the gold in the smokestack lightning
can't you hera me cryin, can't you hear the call to prayer
ask who goes there, when i say who dare, and when say who dat who say who dat when i say who dat..?
blue rats an blue cats and black ones too, blue Blind
Lemon....and blue apples...woo blueberry hill
and the sweet contemplate spirits of Marie Laveau...
who say hoodoo when i say voodoo, say high john the conqueroo, gotta shoot at the blue moon, gotta rattle snake at the sun, gotta toot at the boot till its all done
that the dyin in the east west blues as the star in the east
pours its soft light through the dark western door
can't you see venus close kiss to the fingernail moon with a wild rootin hole shot plum through
a whole lot of love come shining through that magic mirror
oh, blues you got me by the throat got me strummin
on the madhouse walls got me shoutin at the Jung's shadow, got me nostalgic for Picasso's period of blue..
got me lookin for a blue rose in Freud 's dream lapel
some kinda material dream death wish wash lost on
us too blue to see beyond true blue bliss sky only one
oh, going down into that unconscious underground
real slow, slow mo, like that slow bo to China
oh blue, oh Kafka blue, or can we say Dove gray
and compare the blues to Rhapsody in Blue or
Blue Boy to Blue girl, or mood indigo i dig time to go
there is a kind of gypsy blue that looks almost red
as red as Lorca's blood when his lips turned pale
oh well, oh well, oh well...
when the midnight lace veil draws back from the void
blue stone blue's scale playin down the fret with a slide
and a cobalt bottle neck ride makes that thunder and rollin
all night long sound,
got me banging on the pots and pan, got meditating
on the nuts and bolts outta the blueblue
when are we gonna bring back the purple grains
to these blighted lands gonna sing and cry and chant
till the hard rain rains rains gotta fall hear my plee
my peel on the heel down at shoes where the colored
dice roll no God playin with them collapsing civilizations
only a king snake gonna crawl when the levee breaks
and the muddy waters draw down the flood on the
streets, and streets become snakin rivers of 7, 11's
and Box car Joe know when the saints come marchin in
down at the river where suzanne took you down
a mighty coyote blues call a yelp yelp yelp and a talkin
blues layin down the tracks, puttin down the rant
gotta manifest that blue grace in the face of oceans
of blue Buddhas and that blue angel of our better
blues..."fallin love again...can't help it"
down among the holy garbage and the fallen angel flowers
