Come Pigeons! Scream Phoenix!
further to our first comment (thanks!), let's pay tribute to all the pigeons out there w/this from cannibal ox:
"Birds of the same feather flock together
Congested on a majestic street corner
That's a short time goal for most of 'em
Cuz most of 'em
Would rather expand their wings and hover over greater things
That's what we call inspired flight
By the pigeons that gotta eat pizza crust every night
And 'Let there be light' was understood...
We rebels righteous, and stand and scowl in the heightness...
Taking chances in life trying to get by
And stop all the time getting high
Gotta clear mind and stay focused, avoid serpents
And worship life, we like merchants
Street peasants with these lessons
Live, build, and pass away, and keep stressin'
Thinking how we gonna master days
With passion...
We pigeons became phoenix with open minds
To open yours, flow the raw innovative
Phoenix
...birds of the same feather flock together
Congested on a majestic...
no! no! no!
My feathers and flames are one skin
Hallowed be Thy name
In the beginning there was no sin
We in the ninth inning, and I'm God body trying to win
Flying against the wind
But now my shell is weightless and fireproof
But the truth is I'm proof of living fire
I'm not made of organics, not even wires
Just felt my body light up and heard the choir
See to the common fowl the phoenix is Sire
Most high of all things to ever have wings
Existence is struggle, resistance is futile
Meanwhile we now possess the power of ten suns
To transcend and elevate into one
Famine, disease and senseless dying is done
Pigeon bird got a breath left
Heart beat no more
Phoenix bird morph and we live off the G-force...
