Cool Morning
But faced with the reality of it, in a dream, i was terrified.
And it wasn't going to be like a moon trip
There was three of us going, but we couldn't all go on the same ship
We had to go one at a time with a day between us.
I had to go first, and it was the thought of passing through all that black space
All the darkness with nothing in it, and then being the first one to land there, all alone... I knew it was supposed to be all dark around, with just a red surface
But what if I got there and it was light, all
BLACK OR WHITE (AND STEP ON IT)
Behind the wall the ears of love are listening
Behind the door they kneel
Behind the boy from whom we steal
Behind the dark, deserted halls of memory
Inside the sound: "Ahoy !
"We have just landed for employ
"We need your hands to carru us to our joy"
To black or White
And step on it
Black or White
Between the Shadow and Uncertain Colour
Between the Word and Sign
Between the Man and all his Time
Between the Sidewalk and the Moving Stairway
Between the Yay and Nay !
There falls the Thruth we aim to slay
There falls the Thruth we do so righteous flay
Come Black or White
And step on it
Black or White
Until we gather Life and all our Dreams
Until we cool the heat
Until we share our cup of Meat
Until the Trail of Waste is put to stud
Until we drift away
Towards the picture in the frame
Our celebratian comes a Game to Play
Just Black or White
And step on it
Black or White
