poi dog pondering - shu zulu za (live) lyrics

[verse 1]
the expulsion of the garden of eden
is the beginning of life as i know it
pressed from the bright light and into the darkness
where the diamonds in the rough shine so brightly
grappling apples and suckling grapes
savoring their sweetness and dissecting their tastes
singing songs from the true life scenery, tales told in tongue
like j.j. johnson’s trombone bursting his lungs

[chorus]
hey hey, shu zulu za, pow pow pow!
hey hey, shu zulu za, pow pow pow!
i’m gonna pass right through you
i just wanna slip inside your skin
(hey, hey yeah, hey)

[verse 2]
cream lined lotion, liquid love light
flowing over folds of flesh, slippery slow slide
smooth of stone and the cut of cloth
oh, smooth of skin, where the silk slid off
oh, milk like ladles, poured over shoulders
ponds of light, flowed over boulders
birds in branches called out like gunfire
and their wings set the sky afire
oh, black was clouds against the sky
as the mountains disappeared to the night
[bridge]
there must’ve been angels after all
there must’ve been angels after all
there must’ve been angels after all
there must’ve been angels after all

[chorus]
hey hey, shu zulu za, pow pow pow!
hey hey, shu zulu za, pow pow pow!
i wanna pass right through you
i just wanna slip inside your skin

[post+chorus]
oh, i just wanna slip inside your skin
care to slip inside your skin
i just wanna slip inside your skin

[interlude]
wait ’til i light up my coal+pot
and tell you about this zig called jelly
he was sealskin brown and papa+tree+top+tall
he was born with this rough+dried hair
but when he laid on the grease
and pressed it down overnight with his stocking+cap
had so many waves you got seasick from looking
his mama named him marvel
but after a month on lenox avenue, he changed all that to, uh, jelly
how come?
well, he put it in the street that when it came
to fulfilling the needs of the ladies
he was in a class by himself
and he told everybody
his name must be jelly, ’cause jam don’t shake
well, that was what was on his sign
the stuff was there and it was mellow
and whenever he was challenged on the right of his title
by a hard+head or a frail eel
he would just look ’em dead in the eye with a slice of ice and say
“you must just be dumb to the fact
you know i don’t need no help, not with all the stuff i got”
and then he’d give ’em the pimp sign
and percolate on down the avenue
jelly
[saxophone solo]
