Hot Mango Flush
|
(music: Martin Barre, lyrics: Ian Anderson)
|
|
Hot mango flush.
|
Ladies with ice cream hair -
|
Gyroscopic pink neon beams -
|
Everybody's happy about something.
|
The crowd moves like a flock of starlings:
|
they switch direction as one.
|
Jive on the jukebox - Jack and Joker
|
split the night air with whoop and holler.
|
|
Faint aroma - wood smoke, old fish,
|
diesel harbour, roadside mongrel,
|
painted man with buttons barely
|
holding, bursting belly bulging.
|
Hot mango flush.
|
|
Doe-eyed ragamuffin mumbling -
|
Scolded for some vague infraction.
|
Stole a penny candy-coloured
|
sweetheart kiss down at the market.
|
Down at the market all the world
|
seems to simmer:
|
Hot mango flush.
|
|
Hot mango flush.
|
Ladies with ice cream hair -
|
Gyroscopic pink neon beams -
|
Everybody's happy about something.
|
The crowd moves like a flock of starlings:
|
they switch direction as one.
|
Jive on the jukebox - Jack and Joker
|
split the night air with whoop and holler.
|
|
Stole a penny candy-coloured
|
sweetheart kiss down at the market.
|
Down at the market all the world
|
seems to simmer:
|
Hot mango flush. Hot mango flush.
