The Azure King

Know exactly what’s
On the other side
Of this old platinum sky
I’ve been by the bayside
By the wayside, just the same
Seen the Blue Dawn
Watched it go on and on and on
So all that’s to say
I know what
Turns her on
Switch it
The Azure King
Sat in the place
Where the sea met the sky
Waiting for his company
Who came
From far distant lands
Bearing
Gifts in their hands
The duke of navy blue
Brought his
Eleven year old daughter too
Baby blue ribbon in her hair
It was like a line I read
out of Charles Baudelaire
So our king came down
From his throne
Which was fashioned from blue air
Down to where all the people were
Looked around
and when he opened his mouth
Sonic smoke and blue electric sparks
Shot out
Took the form of his words as he said
People
Thank you for attending me here
Our kingdom will go on
For another ten thousand years
Or more
So welcome
Welcome to the Azure

Sonic Lullaby
01:56
|

You can
Take my voice
Send it out
Over valleys
Prairies
Sonic waves, caves
Wherever my voice
Happens to resound
Well I’ve been here for a little while
So profound
Watched every passion
Pass on by
Well everything has changed
Nothing is the same
So I guess that you could say
That all that I can say
There’s a waveless bay
Where the whole world
Deserves to be
Each day
Till’ I get them there
I’ll hop up to the sky
Grab some Azure
Turn it
Into a lullaby

Stay Blue

Don’t move, stay there
I’ll be, there soon
You can, relax
Hang out, fall asleep
If you want to
But stay blue
Stay cool
So many wicked things
That they told me about you
None of them are true, girl oh
Stay blue
Stay cool
Stay in place don’t have to wait
I’ll be there very soon
You know it’ll be
Beautiful sonic holiday
When I arrive
And come through
Until then
Stay blue
Stay cool
But we’re so different I know
They’ll never understand
You and I
It’s just fine
Both gotta’ stay on course
And stay blue, hey
Stay cool so
So stay in place
Just wait and I’ll arrive
Materialize before your eyes
Oh, stay blue
