Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Episode 3 of Major Rager - here in the waiting room where you mightn’t realise but you have been waiting for eternity and now, eternity has come to you!
Here I sit as cold as a Christmas pudding hanging from the ceiling
Like an ice cream pie or an elephant’s eye
Or old Aunt Mable who died last week
There’s a lady with whom I wish to speak, she’s sitting in a cool glass cage
But my lips are sealed I cannot speak until I reach old age
Major Rager left on an important mission taking him a long way from home
on a course, south by north
he only knew one way to go – forward
He calls for his lady “Lady” he cries
She comes – she flies – slips right over and sighs
“Now Major, what did you call me for”?
Major, every year you take off on these jaunts of yours
Out there somewhere seeking the holy grail
When I’m back here, keeping the flow,
Minding the kids and running the show
Gotta say don’t be surprised when you come back
If you find I’m not alone in the sack
Baby baby baby I love you beyond all things,
I’d die for you a thousand times
I’ve been trying to get this right for so long
and this time. this time we’re going to make it
I feel it in my bones, or my name’s not Benjamin Jones,
I just wanna take one last look at you before I go
Baby you’re so – beautiful you know….
and he left! And as he left he sang this little song:
What lies ahead
Take a look from your bed
It could be landfall or a dream
Or something freshly in the head
Like an idea or a cold
Possibilities untold
to make it happen loose the hold
Have your friend unlock the fold
There - it wasn't locked at all.
Take a boat
Sail away – set your course upon the breeze
Let nature take you where she please
and if you trust her from the heart she'll guard you well.
End chords slide upward til we get to KEY A and INSTRUMENTAL
Story narrates as the major’s horse, Wormhole, materializes out of the ether with space saddle and supplies strapped on.
Wormhole says – climb aboard major –
We have a fix on the universal guitar string of unconditional love
If we get there before the improbability clock strikes 4.30
You just have to reach out and pluck it Major
It’ll unleash a vibration throughout eternity filling every dark space,
every shadow, every atom, neutron and photon
with the ecstatic reality of unconditional love.
And whoosh – they were gone!
(The meat of the play in here…)
