Paprika Plains (Remix) - Joni Mitchell (琼妮·米切尔)[00:00:00]
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[00:00:50]
Liquid soap and grass[00:00:57]
And jungle gardenia crash[00:01:00]
On pinesol and beer[00:01:03]
Its stifling in here[00:01:12]
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[00:01:37]
Just to watch the rain come down[00:01:39]
Theyre such sky oriented people[00:01:48]
Geared to changing weather[00:01:53]
I'm floating off in time[00:02:00]
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 mcgees general store[00:02:33]
All in their beaded leathers[00:02:40]
I would tie on colored feathers[00:02:43]
And Id beat the drum like war[00:02:47]
I would beat the drum like war[00:02:53]
Id beat the drum[00:03:00]
Id 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]
Smashedon railway avenue[00:03:23]
And they cut off their braids[00:03:30]
And lost some link with nature[00:03:35]
I'm floating into dreams[00:03:42]
I'm floating off[00:03:50]
I'm floating into my dreams[00:03:52]
I dream paprika plains[00:04:12]
Vast and bleak and God forsaken[00:04:17]
Paprika plains[00:04:23]
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 theyre sweet talking and name calling[00:12:04]
And brawling on the fringes of the floor[00:12:08]
I spot you through the smoke[00:12:13]
With your eyes on fire[00:12:16]
From j&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[00:13:26]
I'm floating back to you[00:13:28]
