"Medicine Wheel" lyrics
"Medicine Wheel"
Been draped over dozens of faces
Been cut, dried, bleached, and braided
One part dead, one part haunted
Get up close and you see the ghosts
A little squint, now skeletons, now skeletons
Shamans drink the salt water
State your case, all stand and rotate
State your case, stand and rotate
Ain't it just like me to talk so ugly?
Wash my mouth or just watch me now
It bubbles up and gargles down to a stomach pit
And my words, my words, they drown
And go on and out
Can't count the pretty little ghosts in you
Or all the color I put you through
Grow longer, longer, longer, long
Lash my back, spur me on
Longer, longer, longer, long
Weighs my neck
Keeps me young

Crossed over county to the Missouri line
And how does one sail on the waves of time?

There was a time, when you were mine...
Bonny Light Horseman - "Someone To Weep For Me" I was named after my father
In a long line of nobodies
Waiting for the future
For the turn of the century
And I was merely cannon fodder
In the nineteenth cavalry
Waiting, waiting, waiting
To sing...
Cut Worms - "Ballad Of The Texas King" No one saw
Nothing at all, no law was there to fight
All dressed down
Walkin' out in the California night
Hey, kid, come along, something is wrong
I believe you know
All this to say, only one way...
