FRANK ZAPPA COSMIK DEBRIS

 

The Mystery Man came over
An’ he said: “I’m outa-site!”
He said, for a nominal service charge
I could reach Nirvana t’nite
If I was ready, willing ‘n able
To pay him his regular fee
He would drop all the rest of his pressing affairs
And devote His Attention to me
But I said…
Look here brother
Who you jivin’ with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now who you jivin’ with that Cosmik Debris?)
Look here brother
Don’t you waste your time on me

The Mystery Man got nervous
An’ he fidget around a bit
He reached in the pocket of his Mystery Robe
An’ he whipped out a shaving kit
Now, I thought it was a razor
An’ a can of foamin’ goo
But he told me right then
when the top popped open
There was nothin’ his box won’t do
With the oil of Afro-dytee
An’ the dust of the Grand Wazoo
He said:
“You might not believe this, little fella
But it’ll cure your Asthma too!”
An’ I said…
Look here brother
Who you jivin’ with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now what kind of a guru are you anyway?)
Look here brother
Don’t you waste your time on me

Don’t waste your time…

I’ve got troubles of my own, I said
An’ you can’t help me out
So take your meditations an’ your preparations
An’ ram it up yer snout
“BUT I GOT A KRISTL BOL!” he said
An’ held it to the light
So I snatched it
All away from him
An’ I showed him how to do it right
I wrapped a newspaper ’round my head
So I’d look like I was Deep
I said some Mumbo Jumbos then
An’ told him he was goin’ to sleep
I robbed his rings
An’ pocket watch
An’ everything else I found
I had that sucker hypnotized
He couldn’t even make a sound
I proceeded to tell him his future then
As long as he was hanging around
I said
“The price of meat has just gone up
An’ yer ol’ lady has just gone down… ”
Look here brother
Who you jivin’ with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?)
Don’t you know
You could make more money as a butcher
So don’t you waste your time on me
(Don’t waste it, don’t waste your time on me…)
Ohm shonty, ohm shonty, ohm shonty-ohm

Dexter Season 8: Tease – Behind a Mask


…Siempre –decía– llevamos una máscara, una máscara que nunca es la misma si no que cambia para cada uno de los papeles que tenemos asignados en la vida: la del profesor, la del amante, la del intelectual, la del marido engañado, la del héroe, la del hermano cariñoso. Pero, ¿qué máscara nos ponemos o qué máscara nos queda cuando estamos en soledad, cuando creemos que nadie, nadie, nos observa, nos controla, nos escucha, nos exige, nos suplica, nos intima, nos ataca? Acaso el carácter sagrado de ese instante se deba a que el hombre está entonces frente a la Divinidad, o por lo menos ante su propia e implacable conciencia. Y tal vez nadie perdone el ser sorprendido en esa última y esencial desnudez de su rostro, la más terrible y la más esencial de las desnudeces, porque muestra el alma sin defensa…..

Ernesto Sábato

poema de Hafiz (II)

“Después de todo este
tiempo, el Sol nunca le
ha dicho a la Tierra
estas en deuda
conmigo.
Ve lo que sucede con un
amor como ese, que
ilumina todo el cielo”.

-Hafiz

Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Pass – Gee Baby Ain’t I Good To You

 

Love makes me treat you the way that I do,
Gee baby, ain’t I good to you?
There’s nothing in this world too good
For a girl so good and true.
Gee baby, ain’t I good to you?

Bought you a fur coat for Christmas,
A diamond ring,
A big Cadillac car, and everything.
What makes me treat you the way that I do?
Gee baby, ain’t I good to you?

~interlude~

Bought you a fur coat for Christmas,
A diamond ring,
A big Cadillac car, and everything.
What makes me treat you the way that I do?
Gee…

Baby, ain’t I good… to you?
