Transcendental Heroes
© Sandy Rapp 1986
The brass band of Neverland is playing for us all
The bass drum of Kingdom Come is beating at your window.
It's a parade of the Transcendental Heroes,
And we are following the piper away.
To make a decent buck you need a nickel slug.
To buy a decent slug you need a silver dollar.
We had it made as the Transcendental Heroes,
But in the end there was the piper to pay.
Play on and play
There's half an astro-kingdom on its way.
In the dichotomy, the present came to pass.
After the lobotomy, the future went to pasture.
We're out of gas on the transcendental highway.
And in the shelter is the piper to pay.
And helter-skelter is the piper to pay.
