[Intro]
N.C.
Hey, you!
Hey, you on high - come down here you on high and I on low, down low and you are high
That's no way for a you and me to be with thee, with thou
I thought this was a two thing, being one on one
Not you and me divided
My beloved is for me, you know, and I'm for you
Not me in beige and you in blue
Hey, you - What's with the distance?
What's with the attitude, your altitudiness?
Come out, come out wherever you be, whatever you are,
Whenever you is you was the wiz, the one, the star!
Numero Uno, Domine Allah, You the name!
Echad, no, Wachad, my
Dharma essence, Brahmanescence, Effervescence, Rex Tremendis,
holy Tatta Mamma sister spirit -
Drop the veil, cause of causes - Jump the gap
Pull up a chair, a mat, a Zafu,
Make yourself at, uh -
you know, what's the rush?
The similes can wait, the metaphors can pale words, I have no words, no...
You who are beyond compare - haven't I seen you everywhere before?
Just kidding - no, not really
So, talk to me, you who never tell me anything
Let's talk...
OK, I'll go, like, first
So... what's up?

Hey, you!

Hey, you on high - come down here you on high and I on low, down low and you are high

That's no way for a you and me to be with thee, with thou

Not you and me divided

My beloved is for me, you know, and I'm for you

Not me in beige and you in blue

Hey, you - What's with the distance?

What's with the attitude, your altitudiness?

Come out, come out wherever you be, whatever you are,

So, talk to me, you who never tell me anything

Let's talk...
