Lifelines

My heart sent me a message:
Look younger, live longer
Yes, my heart sent me a message:
Look younger, live longer
Eat less, sweat more
Palm my pulse, heed my whisper

“We fight what you fear”,
So says the Fire Brigade
Yes, “We fight what you fear”,
So says the Fie Brigade
Through red storms and ravaging blazes
We rush to your urgent aid

The frangipani grabbed my nose

With five petals
Say, the frangipani grabbed my nose
With five petals
Five fragrant fingers of a sappy hand
Just one whiff away from the happy rose

They crucify the messenger
And forget the message
Yes, they crucify the messenger
And forget the message
The listless corridor of their mind
Only brooks the narrow passage

From grass-land
To Grace-land
Yes, grass-land
To Grace-land
Elvis sang his way to Fortune’s ear
Colourful talent led him by the smiling hand
