Lyrics

THE GREAT CONSTELLATION For Madmen Only (Inspired by H. Hesse / Steppenwolf)
“If I had the pieces in my pocket and I could change my life, would I change my life?” Harry Haller and Hermann Hesse sat down in Hermann’s mind to play a game of chess. Harry did the foxtrot while Hermann made his move
and spoke about Siddhartha and the need for solitude, inside.
Harry is half-wolf and with his queen
denies the bishop access to the castle, which is where he keeps his pride.
“I will take your queen but then I’ll be your pawn. Cheer up, Harry; sing a madman’s song tonight!”
CHORUS: “You are the Great Constellation! Not just one soul in isolation.”
Your King is in check, and your life is a wreck. Leave the razor and blaze a new trail.
Harry loves the knight and is seeking second sight.“Don’t be so worried that your life is going to fail. Listen to life’s music on the radio.This sadness is a tyrant you can overthrow.” ... CHORUS
“Laugh with the immortals, overcome the hurdles!
Handel is disfigured by the radio but it doesn’t bring him down.
You know genius isn’t tarnished by technology. Play this little game with me, you’ll see.
Listen to life’s music on the radio.This sadness is a tyrant we can overthrow.”...CHORUS
A sky full of souls, you play all the roles.” You are the great constellation! “I have the pieces in my pocket. I can change my life.”
