about

The chorus shifts in meaning with each verse, going from basic desire to social commentary on animal abuse and ending in a glimpse of the beauty of the planet and the co-existent cosmos.

lyrics

My business appointment was no disappointment
but business wise it was a bust
whatever I was selling was far less compelling
than insidious stirring of lust
I noticed that face and that confident grace
I forgot what I knew and I said

chorus:
those are the kind of eyes I dream about having on me

2.
I stepped on the carpet at the fresh seafood market
just my daily gathering bread
the fish on the shelf struck a chord in myself
why are you alive and why am I dead
the lobster in the tank just like money in the bank
like a cow turned to beef I could say - chorus

3.
the mountains in the north offer a steep craggy course
flatlands in the south dust and heat
the river that winds to the ocean sublime
to return like the cycle of sleep
the moon phase in crescent against the black essence
a jewel in the night of the day - chorus twice
