Lament
Morrison Jim Lyrics

Lament for my cock
Expressing sorrow for the damage done to my penis

Sore and crucified
In great pain and suffering

I seek to know you
I want to understand what is happening to me

Acquiring soulful wisdom
Learning from this experience

You can open walls of mystery
This experience can reveal truths and mysteries

Strip show
Perhaps a reference to the vulnerability and exposure of the male body

How to acquire death in the morning show
How do people deal with death and suffering, especially as depicted in popular culture?

TV death which the child absorbs
Children are influenced by and exposed to violence and death on TV

Death well mystery which makes me write
The mystery of death and suffering inspires artistic expression

Slow train, the death of my cock gives life
The experience of pain and suffering can lead to growth and rebirth

Forgive the poor old people who gave us entry
Perhaps a reference to the older generation who paved the way for the new

Taught us god in the child's prayer in the night
The religious upbringing of some may still inform their perspective on suffering

Guitar player
Perhaps a reference to the artist's musical influences

Ancient wise satyr
An allusion to Greek mythology and the archetype of the wise, sexual being

Sing your ode to my cock
A request for musical tribute or celebration of the phallus

Caress its lament
Nurturing, comforting the wounded body part

Stiffen and guide us, we frozen
Empowerment, arousal and stimulation

Lost cells
Perhaps a reference to physical damage or regeneration

The knowledge of cancer
Perhaps a reference to mortality and the inevitability of physical decline

To speak to the heart
The power of words to evoke emotions

And give the great gift
The ability to create and share words and music

Words Power Trance
Perhaps a reference to the power of music and language to create altered states of consciousness

This stable friend and the beast of his zoo
Perhaps a reference to the duality of existence and the balance between order and chaos

Wild haired chicks
Perhaps a reference to free-spirited women

Women flowering in their summit
Women flourishing in the prime of their lives

Monsters of skin
Perhaps a reference to the beauty and complexity of the human body

Each color connects
Perhaps a reference to the interconnectedness of all things

To create the boat
Perhaps a reference to the journey of life

Which rocks the race
Perhaps a reference to the ups and downs of life and the need for resilience

Could any hell be more horrible Than now And real?
A reflection on the suffering and hardship of the present moment

I pressed her thigh and death smiled
A reference to the seductive and dangerous nature of sexuality

Death, old friend
Perhaps a reference to the inevitability of death and its familiarity

Death and my cock are the world
Perhaps a reflection on the centrality of sexuality in human experience

I can forgive my injuries in the name of Wisdom Luxury Romance
Perhaps a reflection on the power of love and beauty to heal and transcend suffering

Sentence upon sentence
Perhaps a reference to the power of language to convey meaning and emotion

Words are the healing lament
Perhaps a reference to the therapeutic power of music and language

For the death of my cock's spirit Has no meaning in the soft fire
Perhaps a reference to the way that pain and suffering can be transformative

Words got me the wound and will get me well
Perhaps a reference to the power of language to both harm and heal

I you believe it
Perhaps a reflection on the power of faith and belief

All join now and lament the death of my cock
A call for communal mourning of his wounded masculinity

A tongue of knowledge in the feathered night
Perhaps a reference to the symbolic power of language and the unconscious mind

Boys get crazy in the head and suffer
Perhaps a reflection on the gendered nature of pain and suffering

I sacrifice my cock on the altar of silence
Perhaps a reference to the need for acceptance and peace in the face of hardship
