flashing lights spinning room watch the souls mingle and drink martinis to warm their invisible skin enraptured drones applaud your sermon with precise rhythm descend the stairs and return to the realm of unavoidable truth no medicine men in the crowd tonight no fortune tellers no one to heal you with wisdom, to lick your wounds, or to help you recapture your youth try to focus beyond the smoke that invades your lungs, your thoughts enjoy the journey tonight you are our honored guest
