Trance Manual - John Vanderslice

Cross the palisade

At the Holiday Inn

See the Mujahideen barricades

Just walk right through

Past the bullhorns

And sleepy 47s

Right by the Coalition guards

I’m in the back of the second floor basement

I’ll have my editors

Arrange for payment

Come to me now

You are warming weather

Come to me now

The kind that comes with

Sandbags along the river

Wear your aqua mirabilis

Dotted on your pulse points

A miraculous transformation

My aching joints

You are a vision in the air

Cheap lipstick, bleached hair

Oh dressed like that

You are a flag of a dangerous nation

Oh dressed just like that

You are some kind of declaration

Come to me now

You are warming weather

Come to me now

The kind that comes with

Sandbags along the river

Here cowboy bars

And dance clubs don’t exist

The trance manual says just stand alone

And then shift and shift

Come to me now

You are warming weather

Come to me now

The kind that comes with

Sandbags along the river
