Lyrics:
FERDINAND [VIII]: You the coverclouds in a midnight sky I, a little snowflake waxwing high Erring on the delicate side: Who can mark the hour our soul sick friendships die? MARIA [the pious]: Ever felt like Noah on an overcast day? David, take down your harp and play FERDINAND: You hatched your little plan when the first fell through? The wicked in you ran, though none pursued! MARIA: You’re toeing a precarious line [momentary taste of almost unmediated mind] Silk shirt for a sackcloth king--- David, take down your harp and sing! FERDINAND: Clockwork drama in a Josten’s ring Ever on the verge of catastrophe… *************************** King of Spain, Queen of Portugal *************************** MARIA [the mad]: I ran to the sea but the sea wouldn’t hide me The oceans agree there was no one to hide! Will my story give way to the weight of its gravity? ~self-appointed-cop-spokesman-of-the-end-times~ FERDINAND [to the smell of blood]: Knockneed step and a bent-back spine No sense of direction besides... MARIA [unfazed]: Patterns in the clouds over lake Cascade! Message in the sounds of the Air Force planes! [offers claims on an extravagant scale in Elaborate (if laminated poster board) display about chemtrails] Tinky’s harp on the wall next to Janis Joplin! FERDINAND [intoxicated with purple]: Man, I coulda sworn that I saw The cosmos in the livestock straw... MARIA [neither pious nor deranged]: Early cartography sea creature dragon and all? **************** King of Spain, our songs proclaim That you’re Queen of Portugal King of Spain, our prayers in vain Till you’re Queen of Portugal Owls now sail toward seas of Africa ---flee, thou matadors! Courts of dandelions Wars of Oranges have conquered us! ****************
