Tinikling on a Tightrope

lyrics

skinny-skinny on a tightrope
shimmy only to get across
skinny-skinny on a tightrope
shimmy only to get a cross

The 21st century psalm reads:
change is good,
necessary &
inevitable

Through burning times
to burning times
it's a new Century

Dance
through burning times
to burning times
It's a new Millennium's
Chance

go on
take a chance

fire-dancer
arabesque
careful not to
get your footing off

fire-dancer
arabesque
careful not to
get your heel caught

fire walker through a witch trial
only to get across

fire-walker through a witch trial
only to get nailed to a... cross

fire walker through a witch trial
only to get a...

fire walker through a witch-trial
only to get nailed to a ...

and the cross was dropped
when realized
we bear it only as a bridge

and the cross is dropped
when realized
we bear it only as a ...

only to get a ...
only to watch our granddaughters
arabesque a cross

only, only
only to get across

skinny-skinny on a tightrope
shimmy only to get a cross
skinny-skinny on a tightrope
shimmy only to get a ...
take a new... new...
take a new millennium's
chance

The 21st century palm reads:
change is good,
necessary &
inevitable

*take a chance*

The 21st century p/s/alm reads:
Change is Good,
Necessary &
Inevitable


change is good,
necessary &
inevitable

about

Bonfire Madigan San Diego, California

Bonfire Madigan, AKA Madigan Shive, is one of my favorite musicians of all time. She clutches her cello like a life-raft, singing in gorgeous yelps and hums. It doesn’t really matter if you like the kind of music Bonfire Madigan sings, because she does it so soulfully and gracefully, you can’t help but stand there open mouthed, gawking at her vocals and cello.— JS The Mercury Pdx, OR ... more
