Soul Souk by Kim Christie
Written with Rick "Pharquartt" Jennings, who is taller than you think.
Featuring Shankarji on electric guitar.
Inspired by the sounds of Pharquartt, and by the book 'Utopian Dreams' by Tobias Jones.
Nothing to do with us
Sitting in his idiocy
Nothing to do but scoff
At the way we live today
Scintillating cynical
Welcome to the soul souk
Anything goes and nothing stays
Where are all the visionaries?
Buried by the box tickers
They slid into the soul souk
We’re trading in dreams
Exchanging our visions for wide screens
And anodyne screams
Behold the post-modern man
Conscious of dimensions
Coming to terms with death
With something he calls style
He’ll subscribe to anything.
Slip into the soul souk
We’re trading in dreams
Exchanging our visions for wide screens
And monochrome schemes
Where are all the visionaries?
Silenced by the salt sellers
They slid into the soul souk
We’re trading in dreams
Exchanging our visions for wide screens
And anodyne screams
Where are all the visionaries?
