mmmmm I don't know about anything. I'd highly suggest "Penny for a Thought" but some of his songs can be kind of whacked and I don't know if its a good place to start. Robeson for example...

Quote:
Robeson is reflected in a floating mirror
Then I realize that the mirror is not floating
But being pulled by a white horse
In a great golden chariot
The horse has human feet
I look down at my feet and they are hooves
When I look up it is no longer night
The sun covers the entire sky
As if it has been stretched to reach all corners
Flames are visible but not threatening
A girl brushes my knee with her tail
She is wearing pink overalls and rollerblades
She signals for me to follow her
As soon as I take a step towards her I'm flying
