Mobiüs

Out in the space between learning and comprehension
In the gap between agreement and understanding,
There is a room

I'll meet you in that room
Where the mind joins the body
And the heart and soul are one
So we are one
Our bodies are one
Just as our minds are one
Just as our love is one
Nay, two

Too many levels our love impregnates
Crossing boundaries
Like we crossed the threshold of the very door in the darkness
Sleep like contented angels in the embrace of god's throwpillows
Sleep together
Love like horny jackrabbits
Makin love, sweet love all night-
And the beat goes on

[Bumbum bumbum bumbum]

"Baby, was that you making all that noise?"

Nah baby, that was just the sound of the things that go bump in the night

Like my love

And the beat goes on

[Bumbum bumbum bumbum]

"Are you sure that's all that there is baby?"

I'm so sure

Like I'm sure that my love is everlasting

That we're were meant for each other

Like the sun is meant for brothas so dark they don’t need sunblock

I don't wear sun-block

I just fight of the rays of the sun with my kung-fu powers

Kung fu super-powers

With the super ability of being able to make love to you on the beach

Under the hot Caribbean sun

And fight off the rays at the same time-

"Go back to bed baby.."

But I say no, no I will not go back to bed

Not me, not I

Just the one that swallowed the fly

Oh my, I think he'll die

Come fly, fly away with me

Where the birds and the trees

Nah, fuck the trees

I just want the birds and the bees

And is it true that love should come in threes?

Menage a trois

That means you, me, and your friend makes three

No baby, don't leave

That's just how the birds and the bees express their love

I know we've made love all night long

[Bumbum bumbum bumbum]

But you me and her can make love all night longer

You need not be jealous

Just choose a friend who you look better than

And call it a rap

You called it a trap

And asked if I wanted to be seeing other people

I said "no"

[Bumbum bumbum bumbum]

"Baby, you really need to do something about those things that go in bump

in the night;

Surely it can't be healthy for us to bump all night, ev-ry night..."

Surely it can't be healthy for us to stop

You are my addiction

Of every direction

An infection of the greatest affliction

Inflicted upon the glory of love,

Our love

“Oh for the love of god go back to sleep baby”

Yeah, yeah… okay

[Bumbum bumbum bumbum]

I take a look at her

But I find that I cannot sleep

Listening to the sweet whisper of her breath, I think:

If we burn together

Spread our ashes to the wind

And if it lasts

Love is our only sin,

For the life we’re in, is…fleeting

Just a thousand thoughts

Broken fragments of my beating heart

And your…no, our sublime lifebeat

Like the sea, endless

And like the whole of the mobius

Startless

I lay here, looking at the sky

Starless

If we were in that endless darkness

And nobody would be out there, heartless

The moon as our guide

Let me take your hand

And I’ll take you beyond

Ordinary

Yranidro we said

Like ordinary backwards, you know?

Like you

But while I used to like you

Now,

I love you

And I live for you

The start and the end of the one sided mobius

Here, and now

Silent and wordless

It’s time that we took our place in this universe

So hold me in your arms

And never let go

Because we are the stars

In this light show 

Like ashes to ashes

And dust to dust

Our bones the kindling

 As we set our souls free 

The lifebeat starts…again 

[Bumbum bumbum bumbum]
