External Factor
It's all I'm looking for
These moments of opaque-eyed knocked-out rapture
Helpless as a calf at the capture
Chosen in a frozen instant
Far away from the scabbed-out moment
Far from the flick-flick-flick of the flat-screen
Far from the poison power of cash
Green cash reeking and heating the jet stream
Oh, the sharp sweet breath, she is my daughter
Daughter of the flashing instant
Daughter of watching "Daughters of Darkness"
On your parents' couch with your high-school boyfriend
Spinning fevered in a haze of ditch weed
Daughters of long hard skids on the ten-speed
Daughters of July rips at the land speed
Semi-freckled eternal thrasher
Feather-haloed floating hair eye-flasher
Floating like a fire in the distance
Flashing like a flush to the skin
And whispering like the wind through the rushes
Oh, no, external actor
External actor, eh-eh-eh-eh
You gotta hoist a high flag, you gotta learn how to hang
With the freaks and the hicks in the heat of the lot
You gotta learn what is and what is not
And you learn what isn't is not a lot
To drain a tin beer streaming cold in the fields
Summer's up and the heat is relentless
A drop in the rainbow rain on the canvas
Calls of friends in the capital of cannabis
Where the cops down the block
And they circle, and they stop
And they circle, and they stop
And they stop, and they circle
And they stop, God help 'cause it's a lot
And may God have mercy on the polyglot
Oh, no, external actor
External actor, eh-eh-eh-eh
A million miles across the starlight
A skip, skip, skip, a wide long curve
A space dust melt around a star
Keep shining in the cold, keep shining in the dark
External actor, eh-eh-eh-eh
Neighbor-love and brother-love
And blanketing love of God above
Sigh of the river far from shore
Silence and the voice don't speak anymore
Neighbor-love and brother-love
And blanketing love of God above
Sigh of the river far from shore
Silence and the voice don't speak anymore
Neighbor-love and brother-love
And blanketing love of God above
Sigh of the river far from shore
Silence and the voice don't speak anymore
Neighbor-love and brother-love
And blanketing love of God above
Sigh of the river far from shore
Silence and the voice don't speak anymore
Neighbor-love and brother-love
And blanketing love of God above
Sigh of the river far from shore
Silence and the voice don't speak anymore
Neighbor-love and brother-love
And blanketing love of God above
Sigh of the river far from shore
Silence and the voice don't speak anymore
Neighbor-love and brother-love
And blanketing love of God above
Sigh of the river far from shore
Silence and the voice don't speak anymore
These moments of opaque-eyed knocked-out rapture
Helpless as a calf at the capture
Chosen in a frozen instant
Far away from the scabbed-out moment
Far from the flick-flick-flick of the flat-screen
Far from the poison power of cash

Silence and the voice don't speak anymore
Neighbor-love and brother-love
And blanketing love of God above
Sigh of the river far from shore
Silence and the voice don't speak anymore
