about

written to honor the life of Phil Durgan, who was a great fan of Jack Kerouac and Charlie Parker.

lyrics

wishing good dreams on the dreamers who will have no more
and no need for material means
but true joy peace
sparkling for eternity which needs no sparkle
but accepts the gesture as flattering imitation
and now accepts silence as a balance point for meaning shifting emphasis
and so change is infinitely unchanged viewed complete only as one
nothing disappears just as nothing appears
nothing was anything anyhow so it must be everything always
and so the dreamer is free from rigid imaginings like
time measurements
physical barriers
bodily conduct
geographic location
because the dreamer has awakened bliss
saying “let the dream be dreamed by other dreamers for now”
love is no mystery
you are not you
loving her but we are yourself loving everything
as remembrance of unity
spiraling truth blooming unnumbered manifestations as evidence for scientific evaluation glory in all aspects singing vibrant blues within deep rainbow music
and man cannot live on bread alone
so he is nourished by his dedication
sustained by the better angels of his nature
and how the waves soak the beach sand
the man is completed
but still imperfect and striving anyway
connecting dots dabbling a loose rendition of cosmic knowledge
exploring the outerverse
innerverse
verse chorus verse verse
then the bird takes flight
sing on, charlie
humming vibrations into a dense fog
no longer limited by perceptions which may cloud human organs
but now free
pure energy
light rays riding across infinity indefinitely because definition is exactly the opposite of infinity
because infinity is all knowing, all seeing, all tasting touching feeling smelling wishing hoping laughing crying
coughing in the morning
staring into the moon
crackin’ wise with the boys and rolling cigarettes till dawn
everything
and everyone else, too
the women, children, dogs, cats, elephants, fruit flies
everything
it’s all going
it’s all happening
way out and forever so tune in and say hello
this is your friendly radioman welcoming you to continuous broadcast
wishing you a wonderful eternity
with fair weather and an open heart
amen
