J-Tull Hot Mango Flush Lyrics

Hot mango flush.
Ladies with ice-cream hair, gyroscopic pink neon beams,
Everybody's happy about something.
The crowd moves like a flock of starlings; they switch direction as one.
Jive on the jukebox, Jack and Joker split the air with whoop and holler.
Hot mango flush.

Faint aroma--wood smoke, old fish,
Diesel harbour, roadside mongrel,
Painted man with b___ons barely holding, bursting belly bulging.

Hot mango flush.
Doe-eyed ragamuffin mumbling, scolded for some vague infraction.
Stole a penny candy-coloured sweetheart kiss down at the market.
Down at the market all the world seems to simmer: hot mango flush.
