Drums labor all through the night As the acid-drenched slide of guitar’s Take flight To dissolve the great droves Of fawning hearts below Lift off, lift off Is their triumphant call Urging movement They are helplessly strung along To wail as passionate stewards of song The music contains and contorts all forms To provide for…
