My good pal is a OB/GYN in Texas. I wish him well.

...
The sea goat casts Aquarian runes through beads of mirrored tears
Suave pirates words of apricot crawl out of your veneer
Anoint your eyes with Midas' oil and make it still appear

Alladin's lamp is glowing bright transmuting panacea;
To fill your souls with sugared holes

"Oh can't you hear" sang the sea goat "the nonsense makes me numb."

"It's near it's clear" sang the sea goat "we live to overcome
The madman's voice and his nowhere choice
The pain that drains like an endless day of rain."
