Up There Down There

Up there, there's a ball of fire
Some call it the spirit, some call it the sun
Its energies are not for hire
It serves man, it serves everyone

Down there where Jonah wails
In the healing water, in the ready depths
Twisting like silver swans
No line of death, no boundaries

Up there the eye is hollow
The eye is winking, the winds ablaze
Angels howling, the sphinx awakens
But what can she say, you'd be amazed

Down there days are numbered
You're nothing to fear
There will be trumpets, there will be silence
If in the end will be here, just here

Ah, the borders of heaven are zipped up tight tonight
The abstract streets
The lights like some switched-on Mondrian
Cats like us are obsolete
Hey man, don't breathe on my feet
Thieves, poets, we're inside out
And everybody's a soldier
Angels howl at those abstract lights
And the borders of heaven zipped up tight tonight

Up there, there's a ball of fire
Some call it the spirit, some call it the sun
Its energies are not for hire
It serves man, it serves everyone

The air we breathe, the flame of wisdom
The earth we grind, the beckoning sea
It's no mystery, not sentimental
Ah, the equation, it's all elemental

The world is restless, heaven in flux
Angels appears from the bright storm
Out of the shadows, up there, down there
But what can we say, man's been forewarned

All communion is not holy
Even those that fall
They can prophet understanding
It's all for man, it's for everyone

It's up there, down there
Everywhere, everywhere
Time for communion, time for communion
It's all for man, out there, in there, everywhere
Everywhere
Everywhere
Everywhere
