Marmalade Mirage**
**Verse 1**
Drifting on a velvet streetcar,
Pockets full of tangerine,
The clouds are all made of whispering glass,
And the stars don’t know where they’ve been.
I sailed on the back of a silver dream,
Beneath the moon that *sings* unseen,
Bicycle wheels of thought unspinning,
As time begins to lose its meaning.
**Chorus**
Marmalade mirage in the morning glow,
Glimmers of reason in the afterflow.
Candy-striped clouds and crystal rivers run,
The light bends softly but never comes undone.
Marmalade mirage, a shiver on the breeze,
A thousand mirrors locked inside the trees.
**Verse 2**
In a car made of fractured glass,
I race through skies that stretch and bend,
Plucking memories from candy aisles,
Sailing on wings that never end.
Allen Ginsberg chants through the windswept space,
Tying verses to a feathered chase,
Balloons are floating in the rearview’s gleam,
Waving to the shadows in a liquid stream..
**Chorus**
Marmalade mirage in the morning glow,
Glimmers of reason in the afterflow.
Candy-striped clouds and crystal rivers run,
The light bends softly but never comes undone.
Marmalade mirage, a shiver on the breeze,
A thousand mirrors locked inside the trees.
**Bridge**
Aeroplanes with starlight wings,
Carry the breath of forgotten kings,
Paper cranes in polished jars,
Dancing with the light of a thousand scars.
Glimpse of gold behind the amber door,
A bell that rings but rings no more,
Maps are drawn with sugar sand,
A steady pulse beneath the hand.
**Chorus**
Marmalade mirage in the morning glow,
Glimmers of reason in the afterflow.
Candy-striped clouds and crystal rivers run,
The light bends softly but never comes undone.
Marmalade mirage, a shiver on the breeze,
A thousand mirrors locked inside the trees.
**Outro**
A tangerine in my pocket, ripe and sweet,
I walk through the silence with no feet,
All things blend in endless rhyme,
The marmalade mirage is lost in time.
