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.

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-colored
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-colored
Sweetheart kiss down at the market.
Down at the market all the world
Seems to simmer:
Hot mango flush. Hot mango flush.
