Moonlight Bathe
[Intro: A deep, melodic P-Funk bassline and a "dirty" Southern drum break. A wah-pedal guitar lick slides in.] [Verse 1: The Poet (Melodic, high-register, half-sung)] Yeah, boil up the bubble bath now with The cosmos as my bathtub, the deep ocean as my floor, I had to shed the skin of daylight, 'cause my twin spirit wanted more. I'm floatin' in the current, ain't no simple data stream, That blue and white ethereal is a psychedelic dream. I'm a figure made of soldered silver, a futuristic seed, ain't a baptism, baby, it's a brand new creed. The memory of my old self? (Hoo!) That's forever past. I'm a message in a bottle in a universe so vast. [Chorus: Lush, Soulful P-Funk Choir] (Get on down!) She's in that cosmic water! (Get on down!) She's that starlight, silver daughter! She's so clean! (So fresh and so clean, clean!) (C'mon get in the water...it's nice and warm....) [Verse 2: The Player (Rhythmic, witty, grounded)] Flag at half staff, so I must make you laugh, bring on the bubble bath, bub a dub a dee bath. A-ight, so check the scene now, I'm posted on the sand, My toes are in the mud, but my mind is in the 'land' Of 'what-the-hell-is-that-man?'—I'm tryin' to understand. A silver apparition, that wasn't in the plan! She ain't swimmin' in the water (water), the water's in her glow (glow), The tide is pullin' to her, it's messin' up the flow. This ain't no normal moment, this a whole new episode, She's breakin' all the physics, lightenin' up the load! [Chorus: Lush, Soulful P-Funk Choir] (Get on down!) She's in that cosmic water! (Get on down!) She's that starlight, silver daughter! She's so clean! (So fresh and so clean, clean!) (C'mon get in the water...it's nice and warm....) [Bridge: Call and Response over a Flute lead and Wah-Guitar] [The Poet (Melodic):] Tried to tell her tried to spell her that oh my I am the tide that turns the law... but she not giving me naw, just all lovely in the space, with her silent, certain grace... [The Player (Rhythmic):] Yeah, but this dark, deep water's still a crazy, sovereign space! [The Poet (Melodic):] The human form is broken, but the energy is free... [The Player (Rhythmic):] She's changin' up the physics! (Uh-huh!) For you and for me! [Chorus: Lush, Soulful P-Funk Choir] (Get on down!) She's in that cosmic water! (Get on down!) She's that starlight, silver daughter! She's so clean! (So fresh and so clean, clean!) (C'mon get in the water...it's nice and warm....) [Outro: The Funk groove and wah-pedal guitar fade slowly, leaving the sound of an ethereal synth pad.]
