I'm don juan's reckless daughter [00:00:12]

I came out two days on your tail [00:00:14]

Those two bald headed days in november [00:00:18]

Before the first snowflakes sail [00:00:20]

Out on the vast and subtle plains of mystery [00:00:26]

A split tongue spirit talks noble as a nickel chief [00:00:30]

Striking up an old juke box [00:00:35]

And he says [00:00:38]

Snakes along the railroad tracks [00:00:39]

He says eagles in jet trails [00:00:42]

He says coils around feathers and talons on scales [00:00:44]

Gravel under the belly plates [00:00:51]

He says wind in the wings [00:00:53]

He says big bird dragging its tail in the dust [00:00:56]

Snake kite flying on a string [00:00:59]

I come from open prairie [00:01:08]

Given some wisdom and a lot of jive [00:01:10]

Last night the ghosts of my old ideas [00:01:14]

Reran on channel five [00:01:17]

And it howled so spooky for its eagle soul [00:01:22]

I nearly broke down and cried [00:01:25]

But the split tongue spirit laughed at me [00:01:28]

He says your serpent cannot be denied [00:01:31]

Our serpents love the whisky bars [00:01:34]

They love the romance of the crime [00:01:37]

But didn't I see a neon sign [00:01:40]

Fester on your hotel blind [00:01:42]

And a country road come off the wall [00:01:46]

And swoop down at the crowd at the bar [00:01:49]

And put me at the top of your danger list [00:01:52]

Just for being so much like you are [00:01:54]

You're a coward against the altitude [00:02:03]

You're a coward against the flesh [00:02:06]

Coward caught between yes and no [00:02:09]

Reckless this time on the line for yes yes yes [00:02:12]

Reckless brazen in the play [00:02:18]

Of your changing traffic lights [00:02:20]

Coward slinking down the hall [00:02:23]

To another restless night [00:02:26]

As we center behind the eight ball [00:02:30]

As we rock between the sheets [00:02:32]

As we siphon the colored language [00:02:35]

Off the farms and the streets [00:02:38]

Here in good old god save america [00:02:42]

The home of the brave and the free [00:02:45]

We are all hopelessly oppressed cowards [00:02:47]

Of some duality [00:02:50]

Of restless multiplicity(oh say can you see) [00:02:52]

Restless for streets and honky tonks [00:03:00]

Restless for home and routine [00:03:02]

Restless for country safety and her [00:03:05]

Restless for the likes of reckless me [00:03:08]

Restless sweeps like fire and rain [00:03:14]

Over virgin wilderness [00:03:16]

It prowls like hookers and thieves [00:03:19]

Through bolt locked tenements [00:03:21]

Behind my bolt locked door [00:03:26]

The eagle and the serpent are at war in me [00:03:28]

The serpent fighting for blind desire [00:03:31]

The eagle for clarity [00:03:34]

What strange prizes these battles bring [00:03:37]

These hectic joys these weary blues [00:03:40]

Puffed up and strutting when I think I win [00:03:43]

Down and shaken when I think I lose [00:03:45]

There are rivets up here in this eagle [00:04:00]

There are box cars down there on your snake [00:04:02]

And we are twins of spirit [00:04:05]

No matter which route home we take [00:04:08]

Or what we forsake [00:04:10]

We're going to come up to the eyes of clarity [00:04:14]

And we'll go down to the beads of guile [00:04:17]

There is danger and education [00:04:20]

In living out such a reckless life style [00:04:22]

I touched you on the central plains [00:04:26]

It was plane to train my twin [00:04:29]

It was just plane shadow to train shadow [00:04:32]

But to me it was skin to skin [00:04:35]

The spirit talks in spectrums [00:04:38]

He talks to mother earth to father sky [00:04:41]

Self indulgence to self denial [00:04:43]

Man to woman scales to feathers [00:04:46]

You and I eagles in the sky [00:04:50]

You and I snakes in the grass [00:04:57]

You and I crawl and fly oh you and I by the down oh [00:05:04]

You and I you and I you and I you and I [00:05:18]

You and I you and I you and I you and I [00:05:37]
