lyrics

Vision Quest (Boyd)

To the Wart in the water
While you were up their fishing
You became a rainbow man
Your body split in sevens
To the ants in the window
Who drip in on their mission
Just one body blocking satalites
From their position
Now lifting up from my cocoon
Where I’ve been hidden
I’ve found that waking with the sun
Can help me with my vision

To the lizards who crawled back to seas
While escaping teeth
Of the fishes who had claimed the land
Then made that trip complete
When their eyes were tired
And obscured in the blur
They feathered out their flakey skin
They made themselves to birds
Now lifting up from beaches
Where they’re buried in just wishing
They’ve found that striking down with sun
Can help them with their vision

Now I know you’ve seen that lady
Up in the sky
Who combs her hair off mirrored jewels
And gives the night some light
To the people of the east
Her face looks like a rabbit
To the people of the west
We see something more human
But we know that she’s been sent here
To give us goodnight kisses
And awake our minds
To arouse all of our sleeping visions

Now every time I scrape the dust
Off stretching eyes
I see the Aztecs and the Incas
And see Superman in skies
And pilots who were drowning
Under the weight of flags
That parachuting falling planes
And cushioned up their crash
And the shaman who sits in saunas
While his body’s dripping
And assures me that sweating with sun
Can help me with my vision

NO
by Boris

supported by 4 fans who also own “Vision Quest”

Floor-to-ceiling Boris ragers! It’s like they looked back on songs like Statement and Woman On the Screen and said “let’s do a whole album like that!” Most of these tracks don’t even pass 3 minutes! Zerkalo holds up the middle with some anguished doom. In the end, *NO* is as strong and declarative as it’s title. Brian Parker
