lyrics

Golden stranger

Garden prophet

Me

You brought a snake here
Looking for a trade

Ouroboros
We became
Ouroboros
Tail to brain

And she said to play the game
While the fairy’s on his knees

In the garden
In the seed we share
Telling stories in the trees
How you brought that man to his knees

So we’ll trade here
(a bishop for a rose)
Find me here
You called for a lyre

Be my Ghandi
Pay me for a rhyme
In the garden
On the old sweet hill

Cuz she said to play the game
While that fairy’s on his knees
Telling stories in the trees
How you brought than man to his knees

So we’ll trade here
(a bishop for a rose)
Find me here
You called for a lyre

Not my soul you’re after
Bite my tongue
Not my soul—you wait too long

Not my soul you’re after
I’m on my own
Not my soul—you wait too long

To find
Me
To find
Me
To find…

Not my soul you’re after
Bite my tongue
Not my soul—you wait too long

Not my soul you’re after
You will see
What you came for—it’s not me

about

Jay Thomas Miami, Florida

Jay Thomas writes sensual music with beats and string arrangements that evoke fantasy and escapism, while addressing grief, trauma, and human rights. His androgynous voice travels from gentle and soothing to coarse and raw in primal chants.

“Moody. Nostalgic. Dreamy. Fantasy-like.
In other words: hard to put in a box.”
- South Florida Gay News
