" ANTONIO "

Antonio skips through the graveyard
Wearing his hobnail boots
Antonio stops, to howl at the moon
Making the sweetest of noises
And causing the corpses to move...

Antonio projects entertainment
His energy comes out as blue
The corpses begin to break through
Antonio foresee's a graveyard party
As just something that people do...

Antonio fingers his bright-black piano
The dead come alive to the grooves
And suddenly everything's dancing
Including the midnight moon
And Antonio's left with a feeling
So new....

He notices his fingers are see-through
Antonio's skin, begins shining a midnight blue
He finds his ghoulish perception
As the apparition he is, breaks through
Antonio's home IS this graveyard
And so he Pied-Piper's his way through me and you
And through this
Crazy,
Revelation,
Antonio lets go
And, quite magically
Just,
Grooves......
