Rock Music Lyrics Friday: "China Cat Sunflower"

Welcome to our third installment of Rock Music Lyrics Friday! We're getting better at responding to these things – Rothfuss even chimed in last week from the Falklands or Mars or wherever the hell he is these days to take a crack at decoding those Poison wordsmiths. Rothfuss, will you be in the 7200 anytime soon? We have some World Cup to watch.

Anyhoo, since I'm pressed for time today I thought I'd just throw out a Robert Hunter / Grateful Dead tune and see what the 200 million come up with.

Grateful Dead (lyrics by Robert Hunter), China Cat Sunflower

Look for awhile at the China Cat Sunflower
proud-walking jingle in the midnight sun
Copper-dome Bodhi drip a silver kimono
like a crazy-quilt stargown
through a dream night wind

Krazy Kat peeking through a lace bandana
like a one-eyed Cheshire
like a diamond-eye Jack
A leaf of all colors plays
a golden string fiddle
to a double-e waterfall over my back

Comic book colors on a violin river
crying Leonardo words
from out a silk trombone
I rang a silent bell
beneath a shower of pearls
in the eagle wing palace
of the Queen Chinee
