Aphrodesia, Here


We wander through these jungled fields,
Killers brawl and the lovers stalk…
Unassuming creatures crawl
Crushed under elephant walks
Jive cat, he plugs in his phaser
Scream, Monk, the punks kick your knees in,
Strung-out tigresses fryin’
For a swim in the tropical semen
Yes we wander these many jungled fields
See the grasses evolve with the seasons
Archeozoic to Cenozoic
From instinct we've stumbled to reason
Aphrodesia, here, in the jungle

Yes we wander these endless jungled fields
Gazelle always jumps at the chance
The peaceful river flows to the Valley of the Rogue
Who ignores what is not in his pants
Demelza sleeps on the bubinga tree
She dreams of love
(can’t you hear her sigh?)
The snap of a twig sends her flyin’
'Melza's jungle has too many eyes…
Death flops down from the canopy
He bites her thigh and she fills his cup
Death reprises with a scornful hiss
Then he tries to feel her up…
(He knows she's gay
She slaps his face)
Aphrodesia, here, in the jungle

Lamumba, he flee from Chicago
To the Congo, sharpen dat spear,
See him groove to the beat of the bongos
Fancy Mau-mau is now his career,
I fear,
Mau-mau is catalyzed here.
Life is Aphrodesia here
A roiling, murky rain-forest stew
Check the Phantom, he swings
Through the treetops
Busy learning what he already knew
Yeah he chases the secrets the zebra won't tell
(the porcupine taught him to say it)
Counting Christ's steps upon the Sea of Galilee
Deoxyriboneucleic
Aphrodesia, here, in the jungle

Rommel circles lost in the desert sand
Out of gas in a ’34 Ford
Yeah, he sips Jack Daniels from a flask
Sisyphus, Sex, impossible task,
Der Führer unglued is his only reward
Panzer man,
Panzer man,
Rommel stops to beg some directions
Grease-monkey staggers out,
Rubs his eyes,
"Can you help me find my way
Back to Origin City?"
"Dude, it's somewhere up ahead,
or else it's far behind..."
Aphrodesia, here, in the jungle

Miranda wails by the light o’ the moon
Macaw glides down, they harmonize
She spreads her love on the zebra’s back
Prurience winning the prize
With her microphone so long and warm,
Miranda rocks
She’s a sultry song…
She propositions on thirty-two tracks
But the sax keeps playin’ it wrong
Leowenhoek built his microscope,
Tumblin’ dice, he was born too soon
MC squared equals lifespan cubed,
We’re melting the Jovian moons
(Einstein, Eisenstein)
(I give a rat’s ass)
(So long as you’re mine)
Jungle secrets’ll soon be told
Yeah, it’s time, like a rhyme we must play it
Christ had ice on the Galilee Sea
Dioxyribonucleic, again,
Dioxyribonucleic
Aphrodesia, here, in the jungle

We wander through these jungled fields
Boom-Boom
Dig those rock ‘n’ roll drums…
Reggae on with da Rastaman
And disco until we’re numb
Very glum bums in the slum, but
All is Aphrodesia here
The mating juices,
Competitive knife
(You must be crazy
If you think you’re alright)
Hail, asylum of life
All hail, asylum of life!
Aphrodesia, right here, in the jungle

So it might be said
We're all animals
With no respect for "acceptable" things
(Ka-Ching)
Well, I like my good clean fun,
Alright,
But I like it so I feel the sting
The sting!
And when I wander these fields
I wear a fat chain, yeah,
I keep it slung over my shoulder
See, I wear it in place of a necktie
In case I need to move somebody over
So let those poets all sing about their fire
And air,
But DIG,
I was borne in the sand
I wander the many,
Lonely jungle fields
Somewhat more a creature
Than a man.
