Can you tell us the place where the elders chew
the sky soft? The place where love is like a perfectly
quelled arrow flown from bows of pure willow
And under the thundering roll of ghost buffalo
Can't you hear the world's heart breaking?
For it's a test of courage to kiss the snake tongued
people, the fork tongued people
Yes, it's a test of courage to kiss the snake tongued
people, the fork tongued people
'Cause it's like two tongues at one time
It's like two tongues at one time
It's like two tongues at one time
Like bitter spirits and sweet wine
Like two tongues at one time, at one time
So pour all of your souls like magma into the caverns
Pour all of your souls like magma into the caverns
Pour them all for the hauntings
Pour them all for the hauntings
Cool down for the hauntings and harden for the
hauntings
Now granite soul you're a haunter
A haunter hunting the children of the wild plains
Now granite soul you're a haunter
A haunter hunting the children of the wild plains
And if my great-great-great-great-great-great
grandma could find them
She would put all of their poisoned
All of their poisoned, poisoned teeth
In her medicine bag, in her medicine bag
She'd make a graph of our death beat
Pulse, murmur, quiet...pulse, murmur, quiet...
Like hiding pheasants in tall grass
Now there're faces in the rocks and they're
coming on strong
Faces in the rocks with medicine tongues
Faces in the rocks, feels like a million to one
Woman and man in the moon with a cradleboard son
Braided 'round close 'till all warmth is gone, gone
So here take these blankets, here take these blankets
They're woven from the hair of the dead
With the hair from your sisters, hair from your brothers,
Hair from your lovers, hair from the beavers,
hair from the otters
The hair from your mothers, hair from your father
Hair from your lovers, hair from the beavers, hair from
the otters
And we, we saw through you
Like a candle through a buffalo's eye
And we, we stood by you
Like a mama bear shot with her cubs at her side
And we, we saw through you
Like a candle through a buffalo's eye
