Chills quick you
Voices pick you
Crows hex you
Deluxe-um(?) Postum avion
Wizard kiss and all be gone
Scenes
Dreams
Boats to forever
Bolted ether
Creep the ether feather
Sue Egypt
Sue Egypt
Boing pong
hocus pocus avion
I think of all those people that ride on my bones
I think of all of those people that ride on my bones
That nobody hears
That nobody sees that nobody knows
Sue Egypt
Sue Egypt
I think of all
I think of all
I think of all those people who ride on my bones
That nobody sees, that nobody dares
That nobody hears, that nobody cares
I think of the dust that collects on the chairs
and under her eyes
and through her eyes
and out her body
and in her body
and in her hairs
Big smoke fingers wave
Come here Come hear
“Bring me my scissors
and those hot waters ”
The moon was ah
wisdomatic
prestocratic
vagabond
Bad vuggum
a pitcher of red-hot juice
a picture of red garnet juice
Chills quick you
Voices pick you
Crows hex you
Delux-um(?) Postum avion
Wizard Kiss and All Be Gone
Scenes
Dreams
Boats to forever
Bolted ether
Creep the ether feather

“creeped da ether feather”?
“Bring me my scissors
and those ON waters ”
“Elect some post ’em avion.” Not the coffee substitute drink Postum, but to choose to send something par avion.
“prestocratic” — either a portmanteau word or a corruption of Pre-Socratic as in philosophy.
“vuggum” — corruption of Boogum, also a boojum (this word is in Henry Cow’s “Nine Funerals of the Citizen King”). Fantastic monster, bogey man, obeah man, etc.
