[00:26.420]Joni Mitchell
[00:34.420]It fell from midnight skies
[00:39.420]It drummed on the galvanized
[00:44.420]In the washroom, women tracked the rain
[00:49.420]Up to the make-up mirror
[00:57.420]Liquid soap and grass
[00:59.420]And Jungle Gardenia crash
[01:02.420]On Pine-Sol and beer ...
[01:10.580]It's stifling in here ...
[01:17.420]I've got to get some air ...
[01:20.420]I'm going outside to get some air
[01:31.690]Back in my hometown
[01:36.420]They would have cleared the floor
[01:38.420]Just to watch the rain come down!
[01:47.420]They're such sky oriented people--
[01:53.420]Geared to changing weather ...
[01:59.420]I'm floating off in time
[02:06.420]I'm floating off
[02:06.420]I'd beat the drum
[02:09.420]I'm floating off in time
[02:20.420]When I was three feet tall
[02:25.420]And wide eyed open to it all
[02:29.420]With their tasseled teams they came
[02:32.420]To McGee's General Store
[02:39.420]All in their beaded leathers
[02:42.420]I would tie on colored feathers
[02:46.420]And I'd beat the drum like war ...
[02:52.420]I would beat the drum like war
[03:14.420]But when the church got through
[03:19.420]They traded their beads for bottles
[03:22.420]Smashed--on Railway Avenue
[03:29.680]And they cut off their braids
[03:34.420]And lost some link with nature
[03:41.420]I'm floating into dreams
[03:48.420]I'm floating off
[03:52.420]I'm floating into my dreams
[04:10.420]I dream paprika plains
[04:16.420]Vast and bleak and God forsaken
[04:22.420]Paprika plains
[04:26.420]And a turquoise river snaking
[11:56.420]The rain retreats
[11:59.420]Like troops to fall on other fields and streets
[12:04.420]Meanwhile they're sweet talking and name calling
[12:07.420]And brawling on the fringes of the floor
[12:13.420]I spot you through the smoke
[12:17.420]With your eyes on fire
[12:19.420]From J&B and coke
[12:25.420]As I'm coming through the door
[12:31.420]I'm coming back
[12:34.420]I'm coming back for more!
[12:47.420]The band plugs in again
[12:51.420]You see that mirrored ball begin to sputter lights
[12:59.420]And spin
[13:06.420]Dizzy on the dancers
[13:09.420]Geared to changing rhythms
[13:19.420]No matter what you do
[13:26.420]I'm floating back
[13:29.690]I'm floating back to you!
