Instrumental*until 1 17: [Intro*

Saul: Williams] Beginning
with the, aftermath Sayers
of sooth who stand aloof to hide their inner laugh Depending
on the, circumstance I
show my tools to where niggers know where I'm just a fishing pants Beginning
with the, aftermath Sayers
of sooth who stand aloof to hide their inner laugh Depending

show my tools to where niggers know where I'm just a fishing pants [During

the Intro] (Repeat 4x) Yes
yes y'all you, don't stop Yes
yes y'all keep, on [Saul

Williams] I
slept once the, dream has yet to end It
was a purple evening such as this The
curtains had been pulled by a hand unattached I
lay propped on a pillow of eagle feathers on a couch Framed
with the skeletons of my uncles and great uncles I
did not intend to close my eyes but, when I did The
night is falling on the moist palms of children too weak to bear it's weight The
stars are visibly breathing in fact they almost look as if they are chewing gum The
moon is crescented on both sides while it's center remains unseen I
can faintly hear my mother calling me Or
is that my sister singing songs of the railroad [? During*the intro starts again ]*Robeson
is reflected in a floating mirror Then
I realize that the mirror is not floating but, being pulled by a white horse And
in great golden chariot the, horse has human feet I
look down at my feet and they are hooves When
I look up it is no longer night The
sun covers the entire sky as if it were stretched to reach all corners Flames
are visible but not threatening A
girl brushes my knee with her tail she, is wearing pink overalls and roller blades She
signals for me to follow her as, soon as I take a step towards her I'm flying There..
are rocky mountains below me I, decide to land in a small settlement between mountains A
man walks up to me he, is my father but, he introduces himself to me as John Galt I
ask him if he is the Reverend John Galt We
begin to say the Lord's prayer together the, whole world seems to join in The
mountains have mouths I;
am standing at an altar it, takes a second before I realize I'm getting married The
woman beside me my, bride is, sitting in lotus position on an Indian silk pillow She
is holding a white umbrella over her head I, cannot see her I
keep whispering to her [, During*the intro starts again ]*"It's
okay love it's, okay love ",and she keeps shushing me and, shushing me I'm
wearing a backpack I, decide to take it off and open it up It's
filled with coloring books and I keep thinking "I
have to be done in time to pick Saturn up from school I
have to be done in time to pick Saturn up from school I..
have to be done in time To
pick Saturn up from school "... My
darling Saturn I, seem to break your heart daily how, could I ever neglect to hug you You
are a planet hugged by a rainbow forgive, me I
sometimes become so consumed in the travails of my own heart that I neglect yours And
there is no greater crime I, will never commit it again for, there is no other adultery You
are my child God's, gift to the world God's, will be done I, love you
