Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy

The world is holy, the soul is holy
The skin is holy, the nose is holy
The tongue and ****, and hand, and ***hole holy
Everything is holy, everybody's holy, everywhere is holy

Everyday is in eternity, every man's an angel
The bum's as holy as the seraphim
The madman is holy as you my soul are holy
The typewriter is holy, the poem is holy, the voice is holy
The hearers are holy, the ecstasy is holy

Holy Peter, holy Allen, holy Solomon, holy Lucien
Holy Kerouac, holy Huncke, holy Burroughs, holy C***ady
Holy the unknown buggered and suffering beggars
Holy the hideous human angels

Holy my mother in the insane asylum
Holy the ****s of the grandfathers of Kansas
Holy the groaning saxophone, holy the bop apocalypse
Holy the jazz bands marijuana, hipsters peace and junk, and drums

Holy the solitudes of skysc****rs and pavements
Holy the cafeterias filled with the millions
Holy the mysterious rivers of tears under the streets
Holy the lone juggernaut

Holy the vast lamb of the middle cl***
Holy the crazy shepherds of rebellion
Who digs Los Angeles is Los Angeles

Holy New York, holy San Francisco, holy Peoria and Seattle
Holy Paris, holy Tangiers, holy Moscow, holy Istanbul
Holy time in eternity body, holy eternity in time
Holy the clocks in space, holy the fourth dimension

Holy the fifth International, holy the Angel in Moloch
Holy the sea, holy the desert, holy the railroad
Holy the locomotive, holy the visions, holy the hallucinations
Holy the miracles, holy the eyeball, holy the abyss

Holy forgiveness, mercy, charity, faith
Holy ours bodies suffering, magnanimity
Holy the supernatural extra brilliant
Intelligent kindness of the soul
