lyrics

MOMENTARILY BEWITCHED

I cruised the concrete grid of Chicago

kicked up the dust in a crude spectacle

of love and glamour, torment and scorn

my therapist called me a narcissist

from the labyrinth of a gray abyss

gridlock set my soul adrift

as the city grew more dissonant

delicate at the delicatessen

slicing cold meat under fluorescence

on spinning blades, I bled all confidence

I sold equipment at a retail store

to lonely men lurking the corridors

plagued by obsession

daft distortion, of course

caught in the loop of strange culture wars

eventually, I had to close that door

and throw caution to the wind

CHORUS

momentarily bewitched

in the aftermath of circumstance

momentarily bewitched

in the flicker of deliverance

alright

I get down on my knees

A black-bird murmuration

swept the hillside

swirling in sync,

unlocking my third eye

minutiae awakened

the eternal dilation

Bob Michael bid farewell one Saturday

departing peacefully that next Wednesday

yellow leaves blew down

an infinite aisle

when Earth exhaled

the fields lit up for miles

I met Sean Parker in a dank saloon

whiskey, indeed…unhinged the afternoon

his laughter resounds

a clamorous comedown

I heard a whisper down that old dirt road

behind the hemlocks and washed-out tombstones

sent with a shiver through my skin and bones

parked on the shoulder, I could not ignore

I knew I had to open the car door

and throw caution to the wind

CHORUS

momentarily bewitched

in the aftermath of circumstance

momentarily bewitched

in the flicker of deliverance

momentarily bewitched

in the delirium of turbulence

momentarily bewitched

in the reflections of impermanence

alright

I get down on my knees
