wow minimize, minimize Jah minimize, minimize? Jah... there must arise a Jah there must arise a Jah and rise... you got to pay the price those slender eyes, those slender eyes post-tender eyes can't be denied fly to the skies of an accepted light but life is fucked fucked up... so you cock it back don't want no heart attack don't want no C O R O N A blues while you trust you don't believe in love you have to throw down yrself and if you propel you won't go to Hell like a rocket flame to shame. are you touché? do (i) know yr name? can we record this? can we pass the fist? to be a pacifist, a pacifist. so you see the curve and you do swerve from side to side can't be denied. and the roar of the coast of which you boast to all yr friends, so-called friends. to all yr friends who make amends while yr will bends, while yr will bends. while yr will bends behind the wheel of a Mercedes Benz, a Mercedes Benz. while yr will bends and yr will bends you do tend to slop it up. then you get fucked up then you get fucked up yr not Neil YOUNG yr Neil old. and man, you seem bold and you raise yr voice you don't have any choice no choice. but you do swerve and you do curve from side to side can't be denied. and you make it up don't want to make it down don't want to get scattered all over town. so you go down yeah you go down go down to a stitch a stitch... a still cry, can't be denied, go down them steps down those steps. to the waterside can't be denied that you feel a fear yet you persevere. 2010 someone in rave are in their grave (i) hope not. and you look out and there's no doubt that you'll sit down... and shut up (29 Oct. 2020)

who knows when the Miss Rona comes knocking at yr door easily paranoid you don’t know what for is this what you wanted or did you want more yr favourite black lighter is lying on the floor so you stand up to be counted and you slowly gently open the door through the darkness, what for but the darkness is part of the light and it won’t necessarily bite as you twist & turn and you bend those guitar strings and all the joy that spirals bring cause yr spiraling out of control and there’s a big sharp knife with a black spot on it and the bag you brought her from is lying behind it you fetch some as a pirate cause you remember when you saw the Smashing Pumpkins back when they were great before it was too… late you cut yr beard with a big scissors you got in the living room but they’re actually on the ground in front of you and they’re sharp & they still have plenty of coins on top and you wrap that paper up and you unwrap it and you plug the scissors and you gently put the coins on top of the 720 phone cause 720 is double 360 and that’s two circles and Lars has done two times 23 and that’s a number which means a lot to me and I’m not the only one so I put the scissors down on the table cause I’m done with that analogy and then I notice that it’s written on yr guitar and I wonder is yr wisdom going to take us that far and I hold the lighter in my hand & I light it and I look outside & I ignite it and what have I ignited but a flame of passion a flame… a blinking green light that knows yr name and yr name… I see a bit of a white light behind the green light and the green light’s name turns the smartphone on & goodnight
