If there is no such thing as time, you're already there
And you're controlling the cycle
You say, "Man, look what we found here, Einstein,"
Or whoever you're talking to, Tesla
Whoever you're talking to
Problems of the future can be solved by mankind
Because you create them
And you have to believe in the future
It's what we have to do
We progress, we always progress
We try to

So the Sumerian tablets
They say the same thing like Genesis said
That there were chariots of fire
That came into the sky
And these beings got out of them
And they walked like a man but they had reptilian features
They had snake-like eyes, a tail
And, uh, scales, right?
And they were – they were here
And they made slaves out of the people
And where they landed in
Is what the Bible calls the Garden of Eden
They were trying to inbreed with the people here
The women would die, the babies would abort
But after two thousand years they started taking
The babies started being born and living
And they had tails, they had a few reptilian features
They could phase shift
From one dimension to another dimension
And the people who know say it's from the fourth dimension, it's the next dimension

Space is expanding
There are spirits coming from the center, right?
We're going counterclockwise
There's supposed to be eight other
Universes going counterclockwise
And that's called Superuniverse, you know?
And love's always been the message
It's just – circumstances happen, right?
People freak out, just flat flip out, you know?
Well, that's where Hitler came from
Hitler came from that way
He was an outspoken, charismatic yeller
And, and all these people said, "Hey, we'll use this guy
Hey, look at all these people listening to this guy."
You know what I mean?
And so that's just what the trip's like, that. You know?
It still exists, and their bloodline goes back
Back into Sumerian times
You know, they didn't call it reptilian, they didn't call it that
But they did, because they called him Satan
They called him the Devil, and it's the same damn trip
It's a negative force
Coming in on a positive force
Because it's a third dimension, right?
And for it to solidify or to crystallize
It has to have both elements, right?
And you have to keep it in balance
Or it will, it will, it will
One of them will destroy the other...

I do my best to sleep through the caterwaul
The classicist, the posturing avant-garde
I bought a gray macaw, named him Jules Verne
He'll probably outlive me, he's a bright bird
Keeps me company, I teach him new words

I saw a hologram at the theme park
She looked as real as me through the white fog
Then she melted down to her ankles
Turned into a million-watt candle
If I knew where she went I would follow

Walking through the land of tomorrow
Martian trinkets, plastic Apollos
In the sunshine try to act normal
My veins are full of flat cherry-cola
Slept on a bench by the roller-coaster

Dreamt I was riding on a motorbike
Lion of Judah painted on the side

I'm doing fine, I'm back in the Palisades
Life's a wash, a pastoral school play
China shops and cold ivory towers
I and I make toasts to the Caesars
Forcing down the dregs of Decembers

Madeline she spins in a slow bang
All through the house, the strong smell of burnt sage
Let's make it clean and run out the spirits
I know a diving bell when I hear it
We're going down now under the surface

Light to dark can shift in an instant
Feeling close but keeping my distance
On all fours she's just so insistent
Fills my mind with jump ropes and slit wrists
Bust through the Firewall into Heaven

And then I'm standing in that blinding light
Crooked crosses falling from the sky

Seen yeah, seen by I and I
Seen yeah, seen by I and I
Seen yeah, seen by I and I
Seen yeah, seen by I and I
Seen yeah, seen by I and I
Seen yeah, seen by I and I
Seen, yeah, seen, yeah, seen, yeah, seen, yeah
Seen, yeah, seen by I and I and—
