Up There Down There

Up there there's a ball of fire

Some call it the spirit, some call it the sun

Its energies are not for hire

It serves man, it serves everyone

Down there where Jonah wails

In the healin' water, in the ready depths

Twistin' like silver swans

No line of death, no boundaries

Up there the eye is hollow

The eye is winkin', the winds ablaze

Angels howlin', the Sphinx awakens

But what can she say, you'd be amazed

Down there your, days are numbers

You're no numbers, nothin' to fear

There will be trumpets, there will be silence

In the end it'll here just here

Ahh, the borders of heaven are zipped up tight tonight

The abstract streets, the lights like some switched on Mondrian

Cats like us are obsolete, hey man, don't breathe on my feet

Thieves, poets we're inside out and everybody's a soldier

Angels howl at those abstract lights

And the borders of heaven are zipped up tight tonight

Up there there's a ball of fire

Some call it the spirit, some call it the sun

Its energies are not for hire

It serves man, it serves everyone

The air we breathe, the flame of wisdom

The earth we grind, the beckonin' sea

No mystery, not sentimental

Ahh, the equation, it's all elemental

The world is restless, Heaven in flux ,angels appear

From the bright storm out of the shadows

Up there, down there but what can we say

Man's been forewarned

All communion is not holy, even those that fall

Well, they can prophet understandin'

It's all for man, it's for everyone

It's up there, down there, everywhere, everywhere

Time for communion, time for communion

Oh, and it's up there, out there, in there

Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere, everywhere
