Circles Going Round The Sun

The first time we went to New York, James Brown came home

Airport was full of banners

The next morning we bought Gill a coke and cheeseburger

Questioned him on the sidewalk

His eyes seeking the cosmos, looking through the morning, towards the coming night where Kris Parker would play

Circles

Going round the sun

What did Mancusso say?

What did Mancusso say?

One big party that we all tune into through our bodies and gatherings

Through our bodies and gatherings

The spectacle, the image and

In the fire of images, gladly I put my hand to save that day for him

Says George Mackay Brown

And what did Weatherall say?

What did Andrew say? Well have you read the biography

Of course he did

Oh shanti, shanti, shanti

The first time you dance you break boundaries between matter and spirit

Self and other, individual and group

The God who dances is an imminent force

Circles going round the sun

Circles

First time we go to Berlin, we climb over walls and through cellars

Parties that would become clubs, clubs that would become Sundays

Movements, that couldn't be seen with the naked eye

Something's moving out there

Something's moving out there

Going round the sun

Going round the sun

It's like circles going round the sun

Going round the sun

Last time I went to New York, I lost my edge to James Murphy and the better version of what was, that was

The loop thing, Berardi's cancelled future thing, so you spin looking for a drink

Circle going round the sun

Circle going round the sun

Circle going round the sun, it's like a circle going round the sun

Circle

Allow yourself the full extent of your complexity, says Arthur Russel

We stood still and silent, in a warehouse

Fiorucci made me hardcore

Leckey let me see

How much are they Jah Wobble?

Capital's gonna eat you up, brand yourself to eat you up

It gas you, you gas it

It gas you, you gas it

It gas you, it gas you and you gas it

It gas you, you gas it, then we're intertwined, connected

Locked, entangled in sensations of here together

Phase locking our Eco-skeletons

Spinning round and round

In the breaks with Fred Moten, like circles going

Like circles going round the sun

Like circles going round the sun

Circles going round the sun

Like circles going round the sun

Like circles going round the sun

Circles going round the sun

Circles going round the sun

Circles going round the sun

Circles going round the sun

Round the sun

Round the sun

Turning round the sun
