NOTE: Sefronia was wriitten as a single song with two discreet movements;
After Asklepiades, After Kafka and The Kings Chain.

The album sleeve tracklist and the label on the original 1973 release on Discreet shows two separate Sefronia titles - tracks four and five - on Side Two, but in actuality the vinyl release has only five tracks on that side.

Later reissues compounded the problem by treating Sefronia as two titles.

The first line of After Asklepiades, After Kafka takes over thirty seconds to sing...

Sefronia After Asklepiades, After Kafka Sefronia shook the black cat bone at me And I was only wax in the spell of fire Oh my coal black nigger When black coal burns It ripens into a rose She pried the whip out of her master's hand And lashed at her own skin So she'd be master How could she know This was just a dream Born of a new knot in the bullwhip The Kings Chain I couldn't buy you with a hundred cattle But you hike in shells and feathers Up the African beach I am king here Tied to this hut by the King's chain My power's like a tree And green taboo to me The chameleon lies in your dusty fingers, And the blue flies circle your head like stars Jump into me now I must not see the water Let me sip weakness From your dark nipples Tim Buckley/Larry Beckett Tim Buckley Music ASCAP 19th Opus Music o/b/o Third Story Music, Inc.
