Paprika Plains (LP版) - Joni Mitchell[00:00:00]

Written by：Joni Mitchell[00:00:01]

It fell from midnight skies[00:00:36]

It drummed on the galvanized[00:00:41]

In the washroom women tracked the rain[00:00:45]

Up to the make-up mirror[00:00:49]

Liquid soap and grass[00:00:57]

And Jungle Gardenia crash[00:01:00]

On Pine-Sol and beer[00:01:03]

It's stifling in here[00:01:11]

I've got to get some air[00:01:18]

I'm going outside to get some air[00:01:21]

Back in my hometown[00:01:32]

They would have cleared the floor[00:01:36]

Just to watch the rain come down[00:01:39]

They're such sky oriented people[00:01:48]

Geared to changing weather[00:01:53]

I'm floating off in time[00:01:59]

I'm floating off[00:02:07]

I'm floating off in time[00:02:09]

When I was three feet tall[00:02:21]

And wide eyed open to it all[00:02:26]

With their tasseled teams they came[00:02:30]

To McGee's General Store[00:02:33]

All in their beaded leathers[00:02:40]

I would tie on colored feathers[00:02:42]

And I'd beat the drum like war[00:02:47]

I would beat the drum like war[00:02:52]

I'd beat the drum like[00:03:00]

Beat the drum like war[00:03:02]

But when the church got through[00:03:15]

They traded their beads for bottles[00:03:20]

Smashed on Railway Avenue[00:03:23]

And they cut off their braids[00:03:30]

And lost some link with nature[00:03:34]

I'm floating into dreams[00:03:42]

I'm floating off[00:03:50]

I'm floating into my dreams[00:03:51]

I dream paprika plains[00:04:12]

Vast and bleak and God forsaken[00:04:17]

Paprika plains[00:04:22]

And a turquoise river snaking[00:04:27]

The rain retreats[00:11:57]

Like troops to fall on other fields and streets[00:11:59]

Meanwhile they're sweet talking and name calling[00:12:03]

And brawling on the fringes of the floor[00:12:07]

I spot you through the smoke[00:12:13]

With your eyes on fire[00:12:16]

From J and B and coke[00:12:18]

As I'm coming through the door[00:12:25]

I'm coming back[00:12:31]

I'm coming back for more[00:12:33]

The band plugs in again[00:12:46]

You see that mirrored ball begin to sputter lights[00:12:51]

And spin[00:12:58]

Dizzy on the dancers[00:13:05]

Geared to changing rhythms[00:13:09]

No matter what you do[00:13:18]

I'm floating back[00:13:25]

I'm floating back to you[00:13:28]
