UP WEST
Just another lightbulb licker
Looking for a light
Beating dusty wings on air
Bumping round the night
Just another silent thing
Using up the dark
Living out its short run life
Feeling for a spark

I walk among looted roots
I drink from rainy pools
I lie looking at the sky
And watch the dancing Fool
I walk among looted roots
I drink from rainy pools
I lie looking at the sky
And watch the dancing Fool

Just another lightbulb licker
Looking for a flame
Waving velvet eyes like fire
It hasn’t got a name
Dancing for the pale sweet moon
Taking up the air
Bouncing round the darkened leaves
Moves without a care

I walk among looted roots
I drink from rainy pools
I lie looking at the sky
And watch the dancing Fool
I walk among looted roots
I drink from rainy pools
I lie looking at the sky
And watch the dancing Fool

Just another lightbulb licker
Reaching for the heat
Body of smoke darkened rings
Dines on insect meat
Fluttering my dawn lost dreams
Give me peace or go
Loitering about the woods
Many look like snow

I walk among looted roots
I drink from rainy pools
I lie looking at the sky
And watch the dancing Fool
I walk among looted roots
I drink from rainy pools
I lie looking at the sky
And watch the dancing Fool
