Your Lucky Number
I'm releasing songs and performances from the soundtrack for my book, PRONOIA Is the Antidote for Paranoia. This piece is called "Your Lucky Number." If you have any trouble downloading the mp3, go here. Right-click the downward-facing arrow. On a Mac, click the mouse on the arrow as you press "Control."  Here's the text from which the lyrics to this piece are taken: Your lucky number is 3.14159 Your magic talisman is a thousand-year-old Joshua tree whose flowers blossom just one night each year and can only be pollinated by the yucca moth Your special time of the day is the moment just before the mist evaporates You have fire in your blood and sea salt in your tears Your vision of power is the red-tailed hawk soaring over the shopping mall The colors of your soul are ivory vermilion, sable, and jade Your soil of destiny is peat moss The legendary deed that most resembles the method in your madness is the story of the hero who tames the monster without touching it You have a secret name that will be revealed to you very soon Your sweet spot is between the true believers and the scoffing skeptics Your holiest pain comes from your ability to sense other people's cracked notions about you Your magic verbs are dig, descend, and disclose The garage sale item you most resemble is an old but beautiful and sonorous accordion with a broken key Your mythic symbol is a treasure chest dislodged from its hiding place in the earth by a flood |
