I meet you for coffee   We get together periodically and    I got a bad case I can't shake off of me   The fevered wanderin round wondering how it ought to be   You work in the system   You see possibilities and you're glistening   Eyes show the hell you're gonna give 'em   When they back off the mic for once and give it to a woman      I dream like a mad one   Brutal fantasies I catch as catch can   I'm a psychic and a laywoman   I see love and I like to make it happen   What we get from your war walk   The ticker of the nation breaking down like a bad clock   I want the pendulum to swing again   So that all your mighty mandate was just spitting in the wind      It doesn't come by the bullwhip   It's not persuaded with your hands on your hips   It's not the company of gunslingers   The epicenter love is the pendulum swinger   She is she is she is      It's fine about the old scroll Sanskrit   Gnostic gospels the da vinci code a smash hit   Aren't we dying just to read it and relate it   Too hard just to go by a blind faith   But they left out the sisters   I've been praying to a father god so long I really missed her   The goddess of benevolence   You should listen to your mama if you have a lick of sense left      Pushed under by the main press, buried under a code of dress   Relegated by the Vatican   But you can't keep a spirit down that wants to get up again      If we're a drop in the bucket   With just enough science to keep from saying fuck it   Until the last drop of sun burns its sweet light   Plenty revolutions left until we get this thing right      2006 words and music: Emily Saliers
