Can you tell us the place where The Elders chew the sky soft The place where love is like A perfect knee-quilled arrow Flown from bows of pure willow And under the thundering roll of ghost buffalo Oh, can't you can't you hear the world's heart breaking (change of the right hand rythmic) For, it's a test of courage To kiss the snake-tongued people The fork-tongued people owouwoho hoo And yes, it is a test of courage To kiss the snake-tongued people The fork-tongued people owouwoho hoo 'Cause it's like two tongues, at one time Like two tongues, at one time It's like two tongues, at one time Like two tongues, at one time It's like two tongues, at one time Like two tongues, at one time Like bitter spirits and sweet wine 'Cause it's like two tongues, at one time At one time So, pour all of your souls like magma into the caverns Pour all of your souls like magma into the caverns Pour 'em all for the hauntings, the hauntings, the hauntings And pour 'em all for the hauntings, the hauntings, the hauntings And pour 'em all for the hauntings And cool down for the hauntings And harden for the hauntings (x00775) And now granite-soul You're a hunter, hunter hunting Children of the wild plains And now granite-soul you're a hunter Your hunter hunting children of the wild plains And if my great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmotha Could find them she would put all of their poisoned All of their poisoned, poisoned teeth In her medicine bag In her medicine bag She'd make a graph of our death-beat Pulse, murmur quiet Pulse, murmur quiet Like hiding pheasants in tall grass (another change of the right hand rythmic) (It's about like that...)
