Inject me with pure energy
I can not take this apathy
It doesn’t even feel like me
In wasted lands of lethargy
I’m Stranded with my effigy
I put it all in jeopardy
For you to write my eulogy
But first I’ll end this trilogy
Give to me a plethory
Some essences a remedy
Could take the form of melody
I’ll keep it in my treasury
Why can’t we dwell in harmony
It feels so nice and calm when we
Bathe in mutual empathy
Commune in deep telepathy
Cos you are shining starlight
on my desert path
Cos you are shining starlight
Cactus fruit is juicy
Peyote makes me laugh
And it draws me to the ground
And pulls me into earth
To become one with the gritty
Then back to rest upon the hearth
And it draws me to the ground
And pulls me into earth
Bring me back to unity
Help me find my Synergy
I give to you this Imagery
This labyrinth of pure symmetry
Oh won’t you please help me to see
How holy is the Trinity
I always sought humility
And craved to know infinity
Cos you are shining starlight
on my desert path
Cos you are shining starlight
on my desert path
To hear them sing in tribal languages
Be soothed by foreign tones
Triple strings on the guitar
To be jolted by the moans
Of people seeing God
And being flawed by starker truth
To return with their eyes shining
Glittered by the jewel of youth
Because all souls are young
And old
Eternal in this game
We are shouting from the stars
Yet we forget each other’s names
We are jumping through the galaxy On pogo sticks of glass
To land on different planets
Only to sail away on mars
Cos you are shining starlight
on my desert path
Cos you are shining starlight
on my desert path
