《Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:38] And he says

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:17] Reran on channel five

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:26] To another restless night

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:50] Of some duality

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:16] Over virgin wilderness

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

[00:03:21] Through bolt locked tenements

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

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

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

[00:03:34] The eagle for clarity

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:10] Or what we forsake

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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