Testo Sefronia - The King's Chain

(Tim Buckley / Live at 'Greetings From Tim Buckley', tribute concert at St.Ann's Church, New York, April 26 1991)

I couldn't buy you with a hundred cattle
But you hike in shells and feathers
Up the African beach,
I am king here
Tied to this hut by the King's chain
My power's like a tree and green taboo to me
The chameleon lies in your dusty fingers,
And blue flies circle your head like stars;
Jump into me now, I must not see the water,
Let me suck my weakness from your dark nipples
