EXUMA BEYOND THE UNIVERSE
A STAR THAT ONCE LIT MARS
RIDING THE WIND, KISSING THE SAND
WALK IN THE NIGHT WITH THE
HOUGHAMAN
SEVEN TIMES AROUND THE BUSH
NINE MONTHS TO BE TUCKED AWAY IN
A BELLY OF FLESH
CAT ISLAND ON THE SEVENTH HOUR
THE MIDWIFE CHOPPED THE NAVEL
STRING.

ANGELS WALK DEMONS SING
RIDING ON THE BACK OF A FLYING
THING
GOATSKIN DRUMS BELLS THAT RING,
HUSKY VOICE GUITAR STRING.
HAT AND STICK NAMED WRAPPED UP
WILLY
ANKLE BELLS AND SOPA DILLY
ALL ROADS LEAD TO FREEDOM
ALL ENSLAVEMENT LEADS TO HELL

ALL HYPOCRITIES GO TO HEAVEN
LET ME EASE MY HEAD A SPELL
ALL ROADS LEAD TO FREEDOM
NIGHT OR DAY THE COLOR SCHEME
BURST INTO PIECES
THE BIG MAN´S DREAM
THE FUTURE IS FREEDOM, THE PAST
A CHAIN.
THE PRESENT IS ANYBODYS GAME
EXUMA.
