    0. Lyrics to song

    Chet Atkins Gretsch with Vox delay.
    Chet Atkins Gretsch with Slash bass fuzz.
    Chet Atkins Gretsch + Vox delay + Okko Diablo overdrive.
    Meinl cabasa, Meinl shaker, LP shaker/guiro, JTC looper+drums.  


    1): 

    When the blood recycles,
    back to the heart, 

    respiration incites the soul,
    to play its part,  

    infusing life,
    with its thunder-dart.  


    When all seems to continue,
    to run lithely round and round,

    wealth keeps cumulating, obscenely,
    without bound,

    compounding, below ground.

    But when circuits of golden digits, 

    transfix the eye,
    their turnover may be failing,
    to amplify,
    refusing to multiply.

    Ref. 1): 
    Then circulation defies scrutiny,
    and pretends eternity,  

    obfuscating its notion, 
    by simulating the motion,
    of the stars.  

    2): 
    When politicians twist their rubber necks,
    circulating in the throng,  

    wagging their tongues, contraplex,
    and playing pontifex. 


    When the noose of plutocracy,
    tightens round our throat,  

    there are machinations aplenty,
    to uncoat,  

    and resolutely antidote.

    But when the blood recycles,
    back to the heart, 

    respiration incites the soul,
    to play its part,  

    infusing life,
    with its thunder-dart.  

    Ref. 2): 
    Then circulation defies perversity,
    and fulfils its destiny, 

    lubricating with its potion,  
    by emulating the motion,
    of the stars.  

    (twice)
