ANCIENT AND ROAMING
FROM THE WILDERNESS SMALL
SHORT NECKED AND THUNDERBUILT
NO CAUTION AT ALL
HAND BRANCHED AND SHOVEL CURVED
WITH DOUBLE LONG PLATE
OUT FROM THE ALLEY
NOT A SECOND TOO LATE

BIRD SHARP AND PLANTED
NEAR A RIB � A RING TONE
CLOSE TO THE NEAREST HEART
A ROBOT STRIKE ZONE
THE SUN WAS HEAVY
LIKE A MEDICINE BALL
I SAW THE LIZARD
ON THE RED BRICK WALL

SWIFT FOOT INVADER
COURSING, RUNNING
DESTROYER FIRST BORN
COMING BACK TO YOU
NO EXPLANATION
NO EXPECTATION
JUST SPIN THE GLOBE
FIND A LOCATION

WHAT IS THE MISSION STATEMENT?
WHO MAKES THE CALL?
INITIATE!
INITIATE!
THE DESTINATION!

WE WRITE THE SONGS ABOUT
THE PLANET AND STARS
WE SIT HALLUCINATING
OUT FROM OUR CARS
BEYOND THE PARKING LOTS
TO NOWHERE AT ALL

I SAW THE LIZARD ON THE RED BRICK WALL
I SAW THE LIZARD ON THE RED BRICK WALL
                                            A RED BRICK WALL
    I SAW THE LIZARD ON A RED BRICK WALL
    I SAW THE LIZARD ON A RED BRICK WALL

THE LIZARD IS ON A REIGN
THE LIZARD IS ON A REIGN
THE LIZARD IS ON A REIGN � INITIATION!

THE LIZARD IS ON A REIGN
THE LIZARD IS ON A REIGN

ACROSS THE NATION
