The Lyrics:

My Lovely Jinn

When I was a boy...
Way back in 1983...
And the television was my holy spirit.

It showered me with sitcom moralities...
that were plumed with technicolour commandments...

Get a girl.
Get a house.
Have a family.

And if it all goes wrong?

Do it again.

That...
Was the televised truth.
The funny thing about truth...
It’s.... twisty...
It’s malleable...
It’s as real as a mirage inside of a dream.

One day when the holy spirit wasn’t looking...
A smoky silhouette approached me...
And I inhaled...
Desperate for the scent of him.

It was a clandestine moment...
His eyes like fire...
I wanted to burn…

And the silence cracks
As the angels rage
And the wolves howl
As my lovely jinn sings

I wanted to burn…

I am the flame
You are the heat
Let’s burn together
Inside the beat
