lyrics

Some magic
prayed on your sins
and made you cut your hair

Some tragic
tirade
you'd been in
made those locks a lot to bear
and no one cared

There was much that you had to see
Punk rock boys and their melodies

See hair dyed amaranth
irony like amaranth

That boy in fantastic shoes
and a Jamaican tape
no joy in elastic views
just when you took a shape
and watched them escape

There was much that you had to know
to avoid the undertow

You saw amaranth
let it go like your amaranth

For that girl who saw
by a stream
wet and cool
a barefoot dream

In my sea
turning amaranth
in the trees light
of amaranth

I am an alien that was sent to earth to study humans and report my findings to minister Zolumb on the planet Yat. To fit in with other middle aged men in my area, I took up pretending to make music. Enjoy.
