The Vortex (a Space Ballad)


Look Out!... See what just unbound
Rising High... Reaching - round and round
Look Out!... What's happening over there?...
took our breath and turned it to a Prayer...
Vortex... We call it Vortex
Pure Energy and Air
are climbing up a stair

Vortex... We call it Vortex
It's got a kindly Eye
but don't let that pass by...
... within the Vortex
Whirlpool!... See what just uncoiled
Ocean Queen - swirling wild and royal
Jeweled-Waves, circle like a Crown
Spinning to a Throne deeper-down

Vortex... We call it Vortex
... if your vision is a blur
better row away from her

Vortex... We call it Vortex
cool-currents and hot kiss...
now, that's what started this...
... within the Vortex
Listen!... to that rumbling sound
Thunder's rolling... Trees a re bowing down
Hold On!... They sighted another Band...
twisting, turning, dancing, across the land!
Vortex... We call it Vortex
Dark clouds and Dizzy sky
Tune your Base and b-flat by...

Vortex... We call it Vortex
Winds are whipped into a wail
Hail is humming in a high-pitch scale...
... within the Vortex
Halt!... Cherubs didn't say a word...
it was the turning, flaming sword which was heard
Stop!... Don't come back in here!...
the warning blazed and spun... loud and clear!
Vortex... We call it Vortex
They learned their lesson at the Gate...
but it was just too late!

Vortex... We call it Vortex
On that tragic, mournful Date...
walked the man and his mate...
... into the Vortex
Windy,
whirling, windy, reeling - rings
I have seen one of those funnel-things
It sounds just like a locomotion-low-hum...
Cyclone's on!... "Here it Comes!"

Vortex... We call it Vortex
A Tornado by any name
best respect it, just the same

Vortex... We call it Vortex
You heard about its fame
There's something we just can't tame...
... within the Vortex
I don't know much about angular-momentum
or elliptical orbits or equilibrium
or torque, or tachyon, or forces of g...
but I see big
Tex, and I know it’s faster than me!

Vortex... We call it Vortex
It's not Mythical
Its just Centrifugal
Vortex... We call it Vortex
I advise you run for cover
until the Revolution's Over...
... within the Vortex
Ooops!... Ultra Oblivion
Throw a stone into the Unknown; Undone
Open!... Swallow the medicine
tried to tip a Throat of Time and fell right-in!

Vortex... I call it Vortex
Black Holes in the Wells of Space
Can you return?... Where do you race?
Vortex... I call it Vortex
No escape from your embrace
Dare we look into the Face...
... within the Vortex
The Wind has Curves, Sometimes Women Too
Both Rotate and can Turn a mind on You
Kinetic-motion, Don't Control or Demand...
Or you'll see things quickly, Spiral Out-of-Hand

Vortex... We call it Vortex
May be an upside-down Pyramid
But This ain't no play toy, Kid

Vortex... We call it Vortex
"Hon, I ain't no ice-cream-cone
You can't Lick me, 'til I'm gone...
... Just like a Vortex."
