PAST LIVES

If i could remember
the streets and names
I know i was there
the smell in the air
of roast on the flames



If i could remember
defeats and claims
I know i was there
so give me your names

Was captain on the golden hind
and Nero cut me head in twin
in Mali i was worked and owned by the king
what a shame
no fair game!

Mount everest was nearly too high
But others made it
and so did i
was mummified and put in a tomb to rest
and i'm still there
it ain't fair!!


If i could remember
the streets and names
I know i was there
the smell in the air
of roast on the flames

If i could remember
defeats and claims
I know i was there
so give me your names


The robe as priest
I wore was tight
As imam i was always right
and klezmer had me dance all night
as the rabbi
of el ay

Billy the kid was no match
Gun fail undertaker dispatch
The painting i had finished in 1680
Was bought by me
recently

If i could remember
the heartbeats of saints
and the minds of the crazed
Best to be erased!
