He's Going Up

 

He's Going Up

 This is the next song in the possession album. The girl is sad, as she watches the fire god ascend into the sky. There're 2 parts where I attempted to have the musical equivalent of one of those M.C. Escher stairways that goes up and up and up and up forever. Or how a barbershop pole looks like it keeps going up and up and up and up, ad infinitum. I attempted to make it sound like my voice goes up and up and up and up. It's really trippy to listen to when you're stoned.

The lyrics are:

He's going forward into the sky
I'm feeling more sure, I'll see him when I die

Oh, God, I'm feeling sad
Oh, God, I'm feeling

My friend is leaving, I am depressed
Up to the ceiling; I know it's best

For him, and for me because
He'll go back to how he was
And I'll be myself again
But, still, I will miss my friend

He's going up, he's going up, he's going up, he's going up
He's going up, he's going up, he's going up, he's going up

I sigh with crying eyes, and say, “oh, my,” as I
Spy my friend flying right up to the sky
He is so luminous: is this a dream? and I
See he's so numinous, you know what I mean?
Is this a bird or a plane? No, it's a god of flame
No other words can explain this phenomenon to lay-
Men People will probly think he is a UFO
Because his identity's something they do not know

It's for the better, I know it's true
And I'm depressed, yes, I'm feeling blue

But I know I'll be okay
Even though I feel so gray

He's going up, he's going up, he's going up, he's going up
He's going up, he's going up, he's going up, he's going up

Here's the alternative player thingy in case the one up top is incompatible with your portable electronic device, laptop, or desktop computer:
