Howl

I saw the best minds
Generational obsessed minds
Naked in the power of their thoughts they stressed mine
Soul starving
Burning in supernatural darkness
Portrait of an Artist; starry dynamo, chart this
Contemplating these DC streets,
Hiphop and where the sky and Earth meet
Illuminated university tragedy
Burning all their money or making that fat salary
They're banging on the wall, through the wall
Still living their live on alchol and through their cock and balls
Incomparage traffic light moon visions that stop it all
The ranting, the endless chained mind joy ride
The sun shines exposing brilliant eyes
So do or die try, do or die try
The crack of doom
The hydrogen boom
Consumes on a stale brew afternoon

[When we fire escape it all
Drop that ball
yackety yack intellect total recall]

Hook:
As we await the sunrise the moon makes me Howl
How you like me now?
As we await the sunrise, yo, it makes me how
So how you like me now?

Wondering where to go, we bone grind on the bleak road
Boxcarred in the souls are in withdrawal
From the sun to the snow
From the East to the West coast
From Bmore to Idaho to Los Alamos
You are not alone
But the suffering ain't optional
So take your mind all the way off to oblivion
With red eyes or waitresses
Nitroglycerine or hatred, it's leaving your soul naked
But it's familiar cause you probably seen it in your dreams
Or in the imagery of some sordid movie that came down from Madison Ave.
Drunk in a taxi cab, wanting what you can't have
And I'm not talking about no romance
In the shadows of your mind it's approaching midnight
Every impulse of delight subsides
Scream two or three times: Eternity under nighttime sky

Hook:
As we await the sunrise the moon makes me Howl
How you like me now?
As we await the sunrise, yo, it makes me how
So how you like me now?

Lectures rejected
Books flung out alchemy's window
Innumerable thoughts with the rhythm unknown
Til you rose incarnate in the ghostly clothes
Had a elemental shift in your consciousness
And it grows, a rebellion, not a hallucination
What we defy in our minds belies categorization
Or what matters to this nation
Building on the steps already taken I'm creating
Vibrating on a plane
Incanting through decades to explain
With a leaden verse, resist the regiments they're goin' send
Damn close to defeat
Cried why on my knees
My mama, please--yo, I think I 'pproached insanity
Whether it's comin with the sweet blues
Or on your knees under the steeple
This country's split like that pea soup
It's not equal
So where the fuck do we go?

Hook:
As we await the sunrise the moon makes me Howl
How you like me now?
As we await the sunrise, yo, it makes me how
So how you like me now?
