lyrics
Scaramouche, I wanna take your face from blau to rouge
Fandango, I wanna take this thing as far as it can go
Let’s tango, hey
Serpentine, I build a slip and slide assembly line
Circumscribed, I build a tiny house and I just stay inside
Begin again, you know I like repeating things
Now and then, I think I see the future now, and I think I see it again
Skull in hand, now mock thee the naked man
Excuse me ma’am: I acquiesce to your ridiculous demands
And every time I try to put myself as somebody else
I can’t help but thinking of how I might have felt
A sinking feeling like a tunnel to the heart of my chest
I draw up from the well of infinite jest
What was once a suggestion has revealed itself as now a reef far off of the shore, now the ship that must be navigated must reconcile its added weight with its propensity to float. What was once shall be again, and what is now is the beginning of an end, for the Father and the Son live in perpetual communion- a perichoresis- with those welcome into the kingdom but not yet conceived. And the ability to extrapolate the potential impacts of such created being belongs to the Gaia alone, and this mother, the Gaia, who is in essence The Essence, manifests herself inexorably within the hearts of all, who guides all things (but with freedom) to the great song whose harmonies were decided long ago. And how she perceives these many futures is an inexhaustible mystery that must be at once known and unknown.
Known, unknown. How many futures known, unknown?
Fandango, I wanna take this thing as far as it can go
Let’s tango, hey
Serpentine, I build a slip and slide assembly line
Circumscribed, I build a tiny house and I just stay inside
Begin again, you know I like repeating things
Now and then, I think I see the future now, and I think I see it again
Skull in hand, now mock thee the naked man
Excuse me ma’am: I acquiesce to your ridiculous demands
And every time I try to put myself as somebody else
I can’t help but thinking of how I might have felt
A sinking feeling like a tunnel to the heart of my chest
I draw up from the well of infinite jest
What was once a suggestion has revealed itself as now a reef far off of the shore, now the ship that must be navigated must reconcile its added weight with its propensity to float.

Known, unknown. How many futures known, unknown?
