AMERICAN ECLIPSE
C 2017, Earl Meyers, [email protected]
(0:00) - (Introduction)
(0:12) - HERE IT COMES…..THE DIAMOND RING.
HERE IT COMES…..SPARKLING BLING.
(0:23) - ASTRONOMERS SCRAMBLE FROM AROUND THE WORLD
IN LONG WHITE COATS LIKE WIDE-EYED BOYS AND GIRLS.
*(Point of Greatest Eclipse) - TO CROFTON KENTUCKY FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE,
SOUTHERN FRIED, SMALLTOWN USA.
(0:47) - CHORUS: GREAT PHENOMENOM,
EARTH, MOON AND SUN.
NEVER GOING TO BE ANOTHER DAY LIKE THIS,
(1:00) - A TELESCOPICAL, APOCALYPSE,
THE GREAT AMERICAN,
(1:09) - AMERICAN ECLIPSE.
(Instrumental)
(1:15) - A THREE-RING CIRCUS STAR BEAMS OUT OF SIGHT,
A THREE-RING ORBIT TURNING DAY INTO NIGHT.
BATS FLY OUT FROM THEIR UP-SIDE-DOWN REST.
BIRDS FLY INTO THEIR SNUGGLE WARM NESTS.
(1:39) - CHORUS:
(2:05) - HERE IT COMES…..THE DIAMOND RING.
(2:12) - HERE IT COMES…..THE BLINDING BLING.
(2:17) - REPEAT AND FADE - end (3:17).
RAP SPEAKING TAG: (eclipse path - 22 cities)
(2:17) - A CREEPING SHADOW CRAWLS ACROSS THE GREAT LAND,
SEVENTY MILE WIDE MYSTERIOUS BLACK BELT BAND
FROM THE PACIFIC WASHED-UP SAND ON LINCOLN BEACH
TO IRONSIDE, IDAHO FALLS AND GRAND T,
CASPER, SHAWNEE, BROKEN BOW
TO ST. JOE, LIBERTY AND DE SOTO
HOPTOWN, NASHVILLE, GRANDVIEW
GREAT SMOKIES, CHARLESTON AND ANDREWS,
TO THE FIRST WAVE OF THE GIGANTIC ATLANTIC,
GET YOUR FEET WET, TRANSOCEANIC.
THIS ROMANTIC HIGH IN THE SKY MARBLE EVENT,
MESSIANIC GRAND MARVEL IS OVER, DONE SPENT.
(2:53) - PRAIRIE CITY, CROWHEART, CHILLICOTHE,
CLARKSVILLE, HARTSVILLE AND CONGAREE.
Adlib…….
AND THE MOON’S ECLIPSING, NOW IT’S ALL DARK INSIDE
LIKE MY HEART… SEE THE BRIGHT SKY - end (3:17).
