about

I met this man by the trolly turn around in the deepest heart of San Francisco... his perceptions were broken and sparking in the most brilliant of fire-rains, and his reality licked ours dry.

lyrics

(Verse 1)

I met a Madman today; cuz he can see life as it is, and what it could bring
He took a shoelace and he spun it, and twirled it; A Cyclone of Fire, tied into a ring
He saw Angels skywriting, and Gargoyles leering, and told us all what he could see
I met a man 'took a goose egg and made hisself an Angel with wings you'd need a telescope to see

(Chorus)

Today, I met the mad man that one day, I know I'll become
With a slate-grey beard I'll be twirling, 'twixt my forefinger and my thumb
To be perfectly honest, I see all those things too
And if I had a goose egg, I'd make an Angel for you
I'd be the Angelmaker, making this cold world so new

(Verse 2)

His eyes were unfocused and grey; a shaman, the last who'd heard Lady Death a'singin'
In a city of scores of thousands, with its tastes in the air, he filled the trolley with the words he was spinnin'
A prophet cursed to prophesy, and no one would hear, but would turn to be truth after all
We laughed and we joked with the Madman, as he spoke, but I'm no longer quite sure he was so mad at all

CHORUS

Nic would like you to think about the horizon for a bit, and maybe the first last-person-you-cared-for, and maybe how they're a lot of like. Stuck in Mudville, he'll send his thoughts out, in hopes that someone will hear them, and feel the same... because that's a conversation, and he likes those. Enjoy... and feel. ... more
