Madame Gonzo

There are no lyrics to this song, although I considered rapping this poem I wrote for Lara Gonzalez AKA "Madam Gonzo." over the solo section.... maybe sometime at a live gig... Madam Gonzo’s Message of Love
We call her Ms. Gonzo
When she gives you one of her famous hugs
You can feel your blood pumping through heart
Like a shot of adrenaline or an electric shock
Through your body
Down to your feet that start
To dance in rhythm to the drums
From Ghana as your head gets light, light, lighter
Dizzy like smokin’ marijuana
Look out when she’s behind the wheel
Of her Beetle, threading the needle
Of that traffic jam, excuse me mam
You’re takin’ your chances
“Tire tracks all across your back,”
Like Uncle Jimi once sang….
As she makes a joyful noise
Dances with grace and poise
Corkscrew hair and eyes like turquoise
Ancestors from Mexico, Ireland, Italy
With her bright new dawn smile and loads of style
Taking care of the old folks
Teaching the young
Keeping her beat free
Rooted like a tree
The drum, the wood
Does our hearts good
As her hands caress its skin
Again and again
Delivering her message of love
