about

[india – himachal pradesh – kuru valley above
menali, on the road to ladack in a shrine at vashist,
anytime between 74 and 77]

lyrics

living on the mountain
no money anywhere
eating bread and honey
sat back upon my chair

listen to me locusts
here’s what we’re going to do
we’ll move on down the valley
and occupy the zoo

the night is cold and painful
the day is crazy too
the women here are dreadful
there’s no way to get through

so give me rice and lingli
chai and charas too
give me one more sweet dream
this nightmare’s come true

here comes the sweet wine
the satin lady show
here come mr moonshine
with madame afterglow

it’s twilight in the ballroom
the walls are black with smoke
and everybody’s wondering who
it was that made the joke

and no one’s saying nothing
yet everyone was there
i’ll see you in the morning
if i can make the stairs

so give it to me gently
break it to me slow
tell me lies but softly
take care to let me know
