South of Market in the land of ruin
You'll find all manner of action,
Get your tinsel tigers in The Metal Room,
Stalking satisfaction.
They got 'em packaged up for love and money
Tattooed tots, chrome spike bunnies
I bought my mirrored shades, I'm ready to see
Roll with it, gonna roll with it, honey
But I got a felling
Like when big things collide
Like the crack before the thunder
Like I really ought to hide.
Here comes metal Angel
She looks ready to ride.
What's that she's trying to show me?
What's that she's trying to show me?
Picasso moon, shattered light
Diamond bullets ripping up the night
Picasso moon, liberate me, yeah.
I like skippin' with diversity.
Great Amazing Majesty.
And its bigger than a drive-in movie ooh-eee.
Bigger than a drive-in movie ooh-eee.
Hangin' ten out on space and time,
Redefining distance.
The next skull on your necklace is mine.
Cheap for such assistance.
I had a job trading hits for pieces
We'd make wrinkles advertise them as creases
Please find my resignation enclosed
Roll with it, come on, lets roll in it honey.
But Dark Angel what's botherin' you,
So strange you doin' all that you do.
Dark Angel your makin' me blue.
I guess it doesn't matter.
I guees it doesn't matter.
Picasso moon, blinding ball
I hear the quikening, I hear the call
Picasso Moon fills with the sky.
Amazing Blazing Mystify.
The Lunar wind I want to fly.
And its bigger than a drive-in movie, Oh my
Bigger than a drive-in movie, Oh my.
Strikes morning, the atomic dawn,
Scramble back to cover.
Quick, pop your mirrored sunglasses on,
My little leather-winged lover.
I see your face printed on my money
Your brazen ways really move me honey
Heart of darkness, yeah-yeah, hoo
Why'm I laughin' ?
This ain't funny !
Dark angel, you just don't stop,
You break my sprit, you break my heart.
You must have a licsence for practicing their art.
I don't presume to imagine,
No, I don't presume to imagine.
Picasso moon, fractal flame
Blazing lace filling every frame
Picasso Moon, wheels within wheels, yeah.
The bells are ringing, its quite unreal,
Trying to tell y'all 'bout just how it feels.
And its bigger than a drive in movie for real,
Bigger than a drive in movie for real.
Picasso moon, shattered light
Diamond bullets ripping up the night
Picasso moon, Illuminate me, yeah.
Picasso Moon, blinding ball
I feel the quickening I hear the call
Picasso moon, filled with the sky.
Picasso moon, fractal frame
Blazing lace filling every frame
Picasso moon, wheels within wheels, yeah.
Picasso moon, shining bright
The Universe will be flyin' tonight
Picasso moon Illuminate me, YEAH!
and the superior song it unfortunately replaced:
Firefly, can you see me?
Shine on, glowing, brief and brightly
Could you imagine? One summer day,
That same night be on your way
Do you remember? Hearts were too cold
Seasons have frozen us into our souls
People were sayin' the whole world is burning
Ashes have scattered too hard to turn
Upside out or inside down
False alarm, the only game in town
No man's land, the only game in town
Terrible, the only game in town
Passenger, don't you hear me?
Destination seen unclearly.
What is a man deep down inside,
What a raging beast with nothing to hide.
Upside out or inside down
False alarm, the only game in town
No man's land, the only game in town
Terrible, the only game in town
(Phil Lesh, Peter Monk)
Never knew Phil wrote it.
