Voodoo Child

The Five Fingered Freak
Five hills surround the girl I love, five hills my friends, five hills
Four rivers block the path I seek to follow in my life
Free are the three elements which give me the will to live: water, air and zilch.

And the dreaded Hatshepsut of ancient lore.
Dragons with digital toys and Playstations in their palms,
Laughing that Jesus was a carpenter,
Talking about the smartphones that made sex...
when you sat in a weird position for a long time and you move and then your foot feels like this
most accurate description of anything accurate ever in the history of accuracy
