lyrics

running back
towards lost sun
the wise man came
seeking freedom
its a freedom never lost
its a freedom only found
thinking they were the chosen ones
to do with us what they please
treating us worse
than even the animals
receiving no illumination
from the source
which bleeds
but "there's gold in them there hills boys"
(said the color from out of space)
and you know what that is
something to fear
because if she runs free
with the natives
then why do I
try to make
every untidy thing
so neat
tie my neck just right
and swallow my tears
green and bloating
fear seeking release
from behind pressed lips
her hips run free
on the breeze of ancient
savage tongue
wise to the trick of
unthreading
wise to the trick of
the super-sonic soul-drumming
imagine a time
when the static runs
thick
cracks a whip
on horses back
the rhythm
the drummer
rides and we follow
all natural things
take voices
the key is protection
the prize is the self
rising triumphant up
over indifference
my birth-right is
desire
come on one true lover
lets ride it
into the untamed weather
her hips run free
on the breeze of
ancient savage tongue
wise to the trick
of unthreading
wise to the trick of the
super sonic soul strumming
