Trance Manual

cross the palisade

at the holiday inn

see the mujahidin barricades

and just walk right through



past the bullhorns

and sleepy 47's



right by the coalition guards

I'm in the back of the second floor basement

I'll have my editors

arrange for payment



come to me now

you are warming weather

come to me now

the kind that comes with

sandbags along the river



wear your aqua mirabilis

dotted on your pulse points

a miraculous transformation

ahh my aching joints



you are a vision in the air

cheap lipstick, bleached hair



ohh dressed like that

you are a flag of a dangerous nation

oh dressed just like that

you are some kind of declaration



come to me now

you are warming weather

come to me now

the kind that comes with

sandbags along the river



here cowboy bars

and dance clubs don't exist

the trance manual says just stand alone

and then shift and shift



come to me now

you are warming weather

come to me now

the kind that comes with

sandbags along the river
