Kissing James Dean on a Ferris wheel No I don't feel anything Corn yellow, pale blue Kissing the face of a ghost with a name As the war rages on down below Between the ghosts with no faces, And the ghosts with no names I know they're there, I know The ghosts with no faces, the ghosts with no names And the voices started to sing: Silent stone faces Watch and wait As the desert blooms and dies and blooms and dies Bones dry and crumble under neon And water washes away down through chrome drains Yes they Sing. Waiting all this time to be heard Souls hanging in the cold, Waiting for us Waiting for me Who was all this time waiting for you, all this time. Like jade, Like long lost buried gold Old as the sun and the moon Waiting to bring us all back together again All this time waiting for us, waiting for me Who was all this time waiting for you All this time, all this time. And like drops of rain we will be together again. As a white woman photographed a brown woman Passed out drunk on a dusty road, wrapped in a stained serape An ancient queen with cat's eyes stood silent watch over the Great flowing vein of the Nile Angry men threw bloody knives into the holy green river As stony tears cracked and turned to sand Onyx eyes stared out over a black veil Fearless and face to face with the past Tattooed crosses along a strong jaw line And I heard her say 'I am. And I always have been'. But I will hear them sing: Silent stone faces Watch and wait As the desert blooms and dies and blooms and dies Bones dry and crumble under neon And water washes away down through chrome drains.
