A dream-vision of Marc Bolan visited my ex-boyfriend and bandmate, "Marc Revolution Rollins." In the dream, he and Marc were playing guitars and singing a really glammy punk song. He woke me up saying enthusiastically, "We have to write this song!"
The lyrics came effortlessly, and the guitars were super fun to write. This song came together in less than an hour, really. Over the last decade we've both separately played and developed our own versions of the song - it's super nice to have collaborations continue existing, even if the creative parts are no longer a whole. Thank you, Marc!
lyrics
Calling All Destroyers!
You're walkin' on clouds like a God-sent Cougar;
Shooting down the Stars with your Moon-Bright Luger;
Tearing down all of your Royal Suitors
Like you're made of Angel's Tears and Devil's Sugar
But you never give Love to your Copper King,
You're drinking bottled Pepsi, High as Lightning!
Shooting down the Whims of your Voyeurs,
Calling All Destroyers! All Destroyers!
Every Dawn of our Lives, a New Heart is forged,
Born and Blessed and Linked with Lore,
But you're a saffron ball among the grey,
When you were born, it was the Day to End Days.
You never tried, you never cared,
You've got the Universe in your hair.
You're living large in such a little world,
You're beautiful and ugly when your mind is unfurled,
They live to love you, but you only hate -
And when they fall in love, you never play 'em straight, so
You never give Love to your Copper King,
You're drinking bottled Pepsi, High as Lightning!
Shooting down the Whims of your Voyeurs,
Calling All Destroyers! All Destroyers!
