I'm Don Juan's reckless daughter |
| [00:14.72] |
I came out two days on your tail |
| [00:17.85] |
Those two bald-headed days in November |
| [00:20.19] |
Before the first snowflakes sail |
| [00:26.50] |
Out on the vast and subtle plains of mystery |
| [00:29.80] |
A split tongue spirit talks |
| [00:32.42] |
Noble as a nickel chief |
| [00:34.62] |
Striking up an old juke box |
| [00:38.14] |
And he says: |
| [00:39.35] |
"Snakes along the railroad tracks." |
| [00:41.63] |
He says, "Eagles in jet trails ..." |
| [00:44.24] |
He says, "Coils around feathers and talons on scales ... |
| [00:50.35] |
Gravel under the belly plates ..." |
| [00:52.95] |
He says, "Wind in the Wings ..." |
| [00:56.10] |
He says, "Big bird dragging its tail in the dust ... |
| [00:59.32] |
Snake kite flying on a string." |
| [01:08.30] |
I come from open prairie |
| [01:10.45] |
Given some wisdom and a lot of jive! |
| [01:13.96] |
Last night the ghosts of my old ideas |
| [01:16.57] |
Reran on channel five |
| [01:22.30] |
And it howled so spooky for its eagle soul |
| [01:25.73] |
I nearly broke down and cried |
| [01:27.69] |
But the split tongue spirit laughed at me |
| [01:30.25] |
He says, "Your serpent cannot be denied." |
| [01:35.06] |
Our serpents love the whisky bars |
| [01:37.27] |
They love the romance of the crime |
| [01:40.57] |
But didn't I see a neon sign |
| [01:42.68] |
Fester on your hotel blind |
| [01:46.09] |
And a country road come off the wall |
| [01:48.82] |
And swoop down at the crowd at the bar |
| [01:51.74] |
And put me at the top of your danger list |
| [01:54.71] |
Just for being so much like you are! |
| [01:58.84] |
|
| [02:03.36] |
You're a coward against the altitude-- |
| [02:06.95] |
You're a coward against the flesh-- |
| [02:09.40] |
Coward--caught between yes and no |
| [02:12.38] |
Reckless this time on the line for yes, yes, yes! |
| [02:18.60] |
Reckless brazen in the play |
| [02:20.89] |
Of your changing traffic lights |
| [02:23.56] |
Coward--slinking down the hall |
| [02:26.13] |
to another restless night |
| [02:29.58] |
As we center behind the eight ball |
| [02:32.82] |
As we rock between the sheets |
| [02:35.19] |
As we siphon the colored language |
| [02:38.24] |
Off the farms and the streets |
| [02:42.40] |
Here in Good-Old-God-Save-America |
| [02:44.98] |
The home of the brave and the free |
| [02:47.20] |
We are all hopelessly oppressed cowards |
| [02:50.48] |
Of some duality |
| [02:52.84] |
Of restless multiplicity |
| [02:56.40] |
(Oh say can you see) |
| [02:59.86] |
Restless for streets and honky tonks |
| [03:02.58] |
Restless for home and routine |
| [03:05.76] |
Restless for country-safety-and her |
| [03:08.38] |
Restless for the likes of reckless me |
| [03:14.54] |
Restless sweeps like fire and rain |
| [03:16.88] |
Over virgin wilderness |
| [03:19.01] |
It prowls like hookers and thieves |
| [03:22.43] |
Through bolt locked tenements |
| [03:26.61] |
Behind my bolt locked door |
| [03:28.89] |
The eagle and the serpent are at war in me |
| [03:31.61] |
The serpent fighting for blind desire |
| [03:34.04] |
The eagle for clarity |
| [03:38.14] |
What strange prizes these battles bring |
| [03:40.81] |
These hectic joys-these weary blues |
| [03:43.34] |
Puffed up and strutting when I think I win |
| [03:45.91] |
Down and shaken when I think I lose |
| [03:51.39] |
|
| [04:00.40] |
There are rivets up here in this eagle |
| [04:03.10] |
There are box cars down there on your snake |
| [04:06.12] |
And we are twins of spirit |
| [04:08.17] |
No matter which route home we take |
| [04:10.66] |
Or what we forsake |
| [04:14.50] |
We're going to come up to the eyes of clarity |
| [04:18.06] |
And we'll go down to the beads of guile |
| [04:20.56] |
There is danger and education |
| [04:22.82] |
In living out such a reckless life style |
| [04:26.75] |
I touched you on the central plains |
| [04:29.87] |
It was plane to train my twin |
| [04:32.88] |
It was just plane shadow to train shadow |
| [04:35.08] |
But to me it was skin to skin |
| [04:38.36] |
The spirit talks in spectrums |
| [04:41.20] |
He talks to mother earth to father sky |
| [04:44.36] |
Self indulgence to self denial |
| [04:47.36] |
Man to woman |
| [04:49.57] |
Scales to feathers |
| [04:50.97] |
You and I |
| [04:55.50] |
Eagles in the sky |
| [04:57.38] |
You and I |
| [05:02.68] |
Snakes in the grass |
| [05:04.91] |
You and I |
| [05:08.53] |
Crawl and fly |
| [05:10.72] |
|
| [05:18.43] |
You and I |
| [05:22.70] |
|
