Part 7: AEIOU (Rhythm Ballad Anthology)

 

OH! OH! OH! OH! / OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! / AY! EE! OH! OH! AY! EE! EYE! OH! OH! AY! EE! EYE! YOU! OH! OH! / OH! OH! OH! OH!

I’m holding white hands of death in my hand
the white palms in my hand –
do the skulls the dance with glee?
The eyes the white light in their eyes
burning in the principal vestiges of image reality –

OH! OH! OH! OH! / OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! / AY! EE! OH! OH! AY! EE! EYE! OH! OH! AY! EE! EYE! YOU! OH! OH! / OH! OH! OH! OH!

Do they –
do they –
do the eyes in skulls
do they even learn to burn apart
your everlov’n heart?
    (don’t say it now)
no – no – no – no –
    (don’t you say it)
yeah – yeah – yeah – yeah –
the eyes in skulls they go –

OH! OH! OH! OH! / OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! / AY! EE! OH! OH! AY! EE! EYE! OH! OH! AY! EE! EYE! YOU! OH! OH! / OH! OH! OH! OH!

Tell you a story now –

Tell you a story and her name is Clear-and-Bright
that’s right she handled skulls of death with glee –
Clear-and-Bright she’s dead and gone now
but this is what to you and me she said:

AY! AY! EE! EE! OH! OH! OH! OH! AY! AY! EYE! EYE! EYE! EYE! OH! OH! OH! OH! / AY! EE! YOU! OH! OH! OH! OH! / OH! OH! OH! OH!

Did you ever wake up
in the everlov’n dawn
    (OH! OH! OH! HO!)
like on that fateful moning
when a child his life is gone
    (YEY! YEY! YEY! YEY!)
last in line heir to estate is dead
there’ll be some bath in blood in skulls I say –

AY! EI! EE! YIY! EYE! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! Says the Shaman dance of skulls with glee:

Let’s go get the soul

of Clear-and-bright
let’s go resuscitate the dead bones
and march them round the down
so the wind of karma
will blow back to life
the death of Clear-and-Bright
    (YEY! YEY! YEY! YEY!)
let’s send up a crying
for no man is safe
in his skin of vanity –
let’s send up a fire crying
I mean a let-it-go crying
that goes like this
    (let it go now)
that goes like this:

OH! OH! OH! OH! / OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! EE! EE! AY! / OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! EE! EE! AY! / OH! OH! EYE! EYE! OH! OH! OH! EE! EE! AY! / OH! OH! OH! EYE! EYE! EYE! OH! OH! OH! EE! EE! AY! OH! OH! OH! YOU! OH! OH! OH! / AY! EE! EYE! YOU! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! / AY! EE! EYE! YOU! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH!

(distant song of Clear-and-Bright)

I’m coming down
brothers and sisters
ancestors –
to give you the good love
and light within me
so let me come back
while the good joy speaks within
at the crossroads of heaven –

OH! OH! OH! OH! / OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! / AY! EE! OH! OH! AY! EE! EYE! OH! OH! AY! EE! EYE! YOU! OH! OH! / OH! OH! OH! OH!
