You're in the surrealistic heaven,
Count your fingers, they are eleven!
It's true, as sure as eggs is eggs,
Remember the one between your legs!

so far: (@BaldFriede: I changed your words a bit to make them fit better into the 'story', i hope you don't mind)

 

In my dreams, I find myself sailing across the universe

the vanity of my abduction has made me dis-purse

the strain of commitment to the Vegetable Vow

strange things happened to me, feels like im going to burst

Still I continue searching for my stolen chemical wrench

In the timeless space between the stars

living acid I am, going through every sense

Spiraling down in a supernova I still feel... the stench!

But never feeling, totally numb, lost in my mind

Though I still can say: "Scr*w you and your kind"

Spiraling down and down, breaching the core of my sanity...

Till all hope has been drawn from within me

Shutting up, shutting out, turning in for the night

Giving my own consciousness a big fright

Holding my breath, waiting to see what the new dawn brings to me

Will it be some hot milk or a cup of earl greay tea?

CHORUS: Stardust will drug my senses for a million years

Black holes make me see without knowing

Will this cosmis trip end up in tears?

Or is there a comet that'll save me from dying?

Five men walking down the marble steps...

They carry the wieght of many lobotimized souls

They're in the surrealistic heaven

Look at their fingers, they are eleven!

It's true, as sure as eggs is eggs,

Remember the one between your legs!

Ok, but you have to make it "their legs" then instead of "your legs". And don't forget the lines I added to the chorus! I made the necessary adjustments.

Hi Chad, some wonderfull and funny lines there, but please copy the previous lyrics and add them to your popst with your new ones. Otherwise, we get confused

 

In my dreams, I find myself sailing across the universe

the vanity of my abduction has made me dis-purse

the strain of commitment to the Vegetable Vow

strange things happened to me, feels like im going to burst

Still I continue searching for my stolen chemical wrench

In the timeless space between the stars

living acid I am, going through every sense

Spiraling down in a supernova I still feel... the stench!

But never feeling, totally numb, lost in my mind

Though I still can say: "Scr*w you and your kind"

Spiraling down and down, breaching the core of my sanity...

Till all hope has been drawn from within me

Shutting up, shutting out, turning in for the night

Giving my own consciousness a big fright

Holding my breath, waiting to see what the new dawn brings to me

Will it be some hot milk or a cup of earl greay tea?

CHORUS: Stardust will drug my senses for a million years

Black holes make me see without knowing

Will this cosmis trip end up in tears?

Or is there a comet that'll save me from dying?

Sun shine is the knife 
Piercing through the shadow,
Giving light to life
Protecting the meadow.

Winding water floods the forest floor,
To much water but she still asks for more,
Green leaves from trees fly in the breeze,
Naked now, the leaves are what they wore,
But now is winter inviting cold to nock on nature's door.

This is just some poetry i've been working on, this looks like a nice place to share it.

Ok, since Rust posted a poem of his, I'll do the same for one of mine. The original lyrics are in German, but I translated them into English (which is not an easy task for poems, if you want them to rhyme again). I'll post both versions, the German and the English one, so anyone who understands both languages can compare the two versions.

Die Zeit

Eilig vorwärtshastend,
Ruh'los, niemals rastend
Unaufhaltsam, stur.
Werd' ich je erfahren
Was seit vielen Jahren
Zeigt mir meine Uhr?

"Gleichmäßig läufst du Stück für Stück,
Und nimmer kehrest du zurück.
Du scheinst mal langsam, scheinst mal schnell,
Ruhst scheinbar aus dich auf der Stell'.
Ist alles die nur Täuschung, Zeit?
Sag, was bist du in Wirklichkeit?

So seufzt' ich oft in mancher Stund',
Und endlich tat die Zeit mir kund:
"Ich" sprach sie "bin, was existiert,
Wenn nichts mehr auf der Welt passiert.
Wenn endlich an dem Jüngsten Tag
Das Weltall birst mit einem Schlag
Und alles ringsumher ist Leee,
So bin noch immer ich!" "Das wäre...!"
Rief ich vergeblich, denn soeben
Entschwand die Zeit. So ist das Leben.

Nun steh' ich hier und weiss es kaum,
Ob es die Wahrheit, ob es Traum
Gewesen, was ich da vernommen.
Die Zeit? Sie wird nie wiederkommen.

Eilig vorwärtshastend,
Ruh'los, niemals rastend
Unaufhaltsam, stur.
Werd' ich je erfahren
Was seit vielen Jahren
Zeigt mir meine Uhr?

And now the translated version:

Time

Hastily racing,
Steadily pacing
Headstrong without match.
Will ever I know
Whatever does show
Upon my wristwatch?
 
"You run steadfastly on your track,
And never ever you turn back.
Now you seem slow, now seem to pace
Now seem to stand still in one place.
Is all of this illusion, time?
Pray, what's your reason and your rhyme?"

Thus I in many hours sighed,
And finally the time replied:
"I", spake it, "am, what will be there,
When nothing happens anywhere.
When finally on Judgement Day
The universe will fast decay
And everything around is naught,
Then I will still be there". "That ought..."
I cried in vain, for disappeared
The time just had, as I had feared.

Now here I stand, and I can't seem
To tell if this has been a dream
Or real, what I have just been told.
The time? Will nevermore unfold.
 
Hastily racing,
Steadily pacing
Headstrong without match.
Will ever I know
Whatever does show
Upon my wristwatch?

I think the translation is quite accurate and captures the spirit of the original poem.

The artificial savior rises from the grave

To reap the seeds of the man he has made

The Psycholords gather and the wind forms anew-

All watching all knowing all seeing

I think that in this moment Chorus would be suitable, and the next canto could begin like that:

 

But who am I to judge what is wrong and what is right

Since what we worship is nothing but monolith spiked

 

yet you still have time!

Sorry, that I haven't quoted the poems posted here but they look like could act as single masterpieces.

Another issue is that maybe we should ask some prog band to make music for these lyrics. I suggest IQ.

yet you still have time!

f*ck!

A big and well-loved carrot in psychedelic colors appears in total darkness

Holding The Book of Eternal Soup Kitchen Recipe under one arm

And a block of hot plasma ice contained in a poodles forearm...on the other

He raises his hand and says...In the power vested in me I pronounce you!!

King of The Universal Brotherhood of Feline leftovers!!! 

As I gaze on the Almighty Carrot whose name is insanely vague!!

My life is over!!!

I made a left turn so I can go and fix my emotional supper.....

 

(haha!!!)
