golden living dreams of visions

MP3: Lion Water Sign (3.8 mb)



In the Zodiac, the sign Aquarius is known as the water-bearer, and is almost always depicted as pouring water from some small vessel he's been toting around. And yet, for some astrological reason, Aquarius is an air sign (as opposed to a water sign which, I think, would make much more sense).

I bring this up because when I wrote the first verse of this song some few years ago - and there it sat, as they do, for many many forgotten days, until it finally stood up this weekend and shouted, "Finish me!" as they often eventually do as well - the dangerously little knowledge I possess of astrology had me presuming that I, as an Aquarian, was a water sign, due to the aforementioned carrying around of water and all that. I mean, it makes sense right? Wrong, Winston Tong. I am an air sign, as are the rest of you wet and watery Aquarians out there (and you know who you are). Well dry me off and call me Fluffy...you do learn something new every day, don't you?



LION WATER SIGN

You are a lion, and I am a water sign
I think things are looking good
You are a lion, and I am a water sign
I think things are looking good
When you start to roar
And I call you a bore
We're on our way

You are a nightgown, and I am your thorny crown
I think Heaven's smiling now
You are a (k)nightgown, and I am your thorny crown
I think Heaven's smiling now
When you dress me up
And I hand you the cup
We're on our way

There has got to be no reason for it all
But it doesn't mean there doesn't have to be
If you feel like throwing metal forks around
Well then go ahead....

You are a prayer, and I want to be the mayor
I think we could win this town
You are a prayer, and I want to be the mayor
I think we could win this town
When you start to rise
And there's less nay's than aye's
We're on our way

You are a knick-knack, and I am a bric-a-brac
I think we are on display
You are a knick-knack, and I am a bric-a-brac
I think we are on display
When you flash your ass
And I smash through the glass
We're on our way

There has got to be no reason for it all
So just go ahead....
