Brian Eno - The Roil, The Choke lyrics

He raised the stake

And broke the soil

And phrased the stroke

That takes the oil

And stoked, erased and foiled the lake

And smoked and boiled the grazing snake

The roil, the choke, the cakes of praise

The spoils that break now cloak the days

That wake the coil of blazing coke

The flaking glaze of Royalty broke

He raises, stakes, admires, stokes

The flowery blaze, the fiery pokes
