Wunderkind

He came on highways, strings and demons
Had a golden mouth of flies
Spiders did the megaphone tricks
Screamed he comes on sunlit tides
As he rode the dawn alone
Rode the dawn so bright

He came on space and swords to misty
Boardwalks of galactic game
Cameo wheels on roasted fury
Sat on slick revolving blades
As he rode the dawn alone
To a star he knew would last

You’d taste his lip to feel his time wound
Smell his poison ivy gas
Touch his nerve to view diseases
Collapse in cleanses of his past

He came on age of terror searching
For a harder mental bone
Don’t you know the spines of madness
Wrap their sores around your home
As he seeks a brighter light
A brighter road to roam

He was wunderkind, another time
A different race, a human spy
Just a wonder kid on troubled acid
Dreams that spat out trips and holy skies

He found shanty starway ladies dancing
Made his children worship metal eyes
He knew doves electric whispered dying
Of his ventures into theaters of lie
As he rode the dawn alone
To a star he knew would shine
Shine

Over wunderkind, the territories
Wastelands once now crowning fields
Sleepless raw on gears of magic
A wonder of your past’s technique
Atom drawn and killers shown
Bright and chromed mystique
In conducted selves he kept some sterile
Pills for your psychique
