Those Clever Mannequins (Feat Glimply the Clown)

This song was on a backburner for quite a few years. I literally could not see how to really go beyond an initial super-rough sketch. However recently (early 2023), I pressed forward and trusted that the journey would reveal where to go; it worked.

SKySWiM is the core project name for all musical work by Arnie Stanton. Arnie Stanton has been very involved in creating an eclectic musical blend of classical, electronic, rock, jazz, and other styles. Because of his wide musical background from training and listening, he tends to not stay long with one particular sound, mood, or feel. Arnie creates music meant to evoke deep emotions and strong visual imagery. His lyrics have spiritual overtones, sometimes comforting, but more often, challenging and ominous. He plays trombone, keyboards, sings, and usually talks in the first person, rather than third person tense, as he is doing here. :-) His base of operations is in Torrance, California.

Story behind the song
This is one of TWO versions of this song. A second version, now in the works (early 2023) will use the same lyrics, but the melody and chords (and instruments to some degree) and singer will be very different.
Lyrics
Keep all your kryptonite I have enough for now A horrible typhoon in this noisy car wash Oh, the leper spots remain It's two o'clock in Italy Yet we've lost all sense of time The flower brigade returns to scorn the circus clown of old We now are all D.J.s ignoring any party requests We're very special agents without a rhyme to reason If all is divine then who are the special ones? Those Clever Mannequins they always trick us to look away So many islands of piranha with no coconut stand in sight Everything means something we have ways to make you agree
