From Aural Innovations #10 (June 2000)
Higher and higher! and, higher!
We'll pass on to the Second Heaven
The Starry big Heaven, and view the flying stars
and, dashing meteors
And then pass on by Mars and Mercury, and Jupitor and Venus
And Saturn and Uranus, and Neptune with her four glittering
moons. - Rev. A.W.Nix/1927 from The White Flyer To Heaven.
The Native Alien
to be comfortable in whatever "where"
i have been earth
i am!!
i have been solid
i am!!
the universal soldiers
and, most important
may i inject
night after night after night
may our fourth sights
we have been through heaven, we have been through
native aliens
windless chatter in the air
the real you
set to rhythms
a festival of light
desired now
nonviolent chaos
the deal
nonviolent chaos
you feel the feelings that others don't feel
children of the sun
forming their own race
hear us now
music music music
native aliens
to be happier than right before
to be more
to be more
to be more
i have been fire
i have been wind
i have been gases
i have been liquid
you are
star-travellers
with all
thin warriors undisguised
our lives
our passages
our songs
have been real
our interpretations, up to now, and, including now
have been correct
ingest
and, solidify
be lived to tell
hell....
fallen just to yell /
fallen just to yell / YEAH!
spoken with silent lips
stripped naked for the world to see
the real me
tiny pyramids in the sea
cosmic forces
the cosmic dance
and solemn chants
of sound
delight
a frantic feel
is the deal
is the deal
no longer on the run
one that's been for ever forming
in this mystic sea called evolution
lies the solutions
lies the solutions
lies the solutions
use it use it use it
music
the stars/Sun Ra
hipper than now
native aliens
