In the air that talks
In the air that speaks
Words without moving lips in the night
Words that cut the air
Words that slice the sky
Words are moving fast through the night
CHORUS
With your voice so clear
Will you find me here?
Oh, I need to hear your voice
In the air
Whispers I can hear
Whispers I can feel
Your words touching me in the night
You're connecting me
You're protecting me
Now I feel part of the night
CHORUS
With your voice so clear
Will you find me here?
Oh, I need to hear your voice
In the air
Power me up
No static in the air
Talking my language -- so I care
CHORUS
With your voice so clear
Will you find me here?
Oh, I need to hear your voice
In the air

Native

All around the world
People are looking inside
The teachings of the past
Are better than what they have tried
CHORUS
Native, Native, Native
Coming home
Native, Native, Native
Coming home
I feel I understand
Our elders had inner sight
They saw beyond today
Past the pain and the fright
CHORUS
Let's begin where we began
The power of change is in our hands
In our hands
Never let the dream die
Finish what they began
There's changes being made
And I'm doing all that I can
CHORUS
Native, Native, Native
Coming home
Native, Native, Native
Coming home

About Geronimo
02:02
|
|||
|
Do you know the story very well?
Will you fill in all the parts you know?
About the times
Those scary times
About Geronimo
Were there one or three or more of him?
If there were -- then where did they all go?
What is the truth
The honest truth
About Geronimo
In the desert mountains he evaded
Every gun that tried to bring him down
No lack of food or thirst could ever break him
He rose up
He rose up
Some people think that he gave in and died
Some people think he was in Wild Bill's show
You can't prove that
You don't know jack
About Geronimo

Father Divine
02:53
|
|||
|
He was planning to get to heaven
About six-thirty or seven
The choice wasn't mere whim
The faithful gathered near him
Waiting for his body to rise again
CHORUS
Father Divine
Father Divine
Father Divine
Father Divine
Hellfire hath no fury
When you're not in a big hurry
Daddy Grace may help you
He's been through this test, too
Waiting for his soul to rise again
CHORUS
Everyone thought he'd return
He couldn't thank them for their concern
He never came back
That religious maniac
Waiting for his body to rise again
CHORUS

Lost Bird
02:39
|
|||
|
Oh, Lost Bird waiting to return
Crying with an anger that burns
CHORUS
There was no place to hide
Except deep in her dreams
Let her spirit take flight
Leave this world behind
And fly free
Differences do not amuse
In a land you did not choose
CHORUS
There was no place to hide
Except deep in her dreams
Let her spirit take flight
Leave this world behind
And fly free
Never complete always wanting more
Is her soul the price we pay for war?
Oh, Lost Bird came home to rest
Scattered to the stars and blessed.

Eugene Tooms Is Dead
03:31
|
|||
|
Eugene Tooms is dead
Eugene Tooms is dead
He lived beneath the stairs
That's his slime dripping there
He was different
Not really like you and me
He was dangerous
In ways you could hardly believe
CHORUS
He was strange
And completely deranged
The only one of his kind
We will ever find
You better watch your back
He might still attack
He fooled you once before
He slid right through the door.
He had strange tastes
And spent thirty years fast asleep
Oh, he was happy
To live his life as a creep
CHORUS
Eugene Tooms is dead
Eugene Tooms is dead
You know what it's all about
He really creeped me out.
Eugene Tooms is dead.
Eugene Tooms is dead.

Spirit Guide
03:24
|
|||
|
Tall and powerful -- Buff and Brave
His long dark hair was wrapped in braids
Met him a past life
Could have been his wife
In a different time.
He came back beyond the grave
Gonna make me his mental slave
And everything he says
About UFOs and Elvis
Is completely true.
CHORUS
Indian Spirit Guide
Wrapped in a buffalo hide
The medicine wheels spin in my brain
Are the Indians all dead
Except the one in my head?
I thank God for my Indian Guide
Tried to channel with tarot cards
Spent the convergence in my back yard
My spirit guide knows best
I put him to the test
And he came through
You look Indian -- tell me how
Where's the sweat or the next pow-wow?
Although my skin is pale
I've got an Indian tale
I can tell
CHORUS

Beautiful
02:27
|
|||
|
Sand in the desert gives way to water
Born from thorns comes a flower
That's Beautiful
Beautiful
Cracks in the conctret and empty spaces
Hiding secret garden spaces
That's Beautiful
Beautiful
The earth is part of who we are
How could we have strayed so far
Mother crying for her children
Care about the world you live in
Make it beautiful
Beautiful

My glowing eyes in the dark
Have set you as their mark
Oh, don't try to escape
Listen now -- Let me show you how
You may seen an evil creature
But I'm a freedom seeker
CHORUS
Monsters of the World Unite
Monsters of the World Unite
Won't go down without a fight
Monsters of the World Unite!!
Now Bigfoot has a plan
Let's get even with Man
Yes, every monster agrees
Dracula, yah, Chupacabra
Mummies, werewolves and those elves
Should feel free to be themselves
CHORUS
Monsters of the World Unite
Monsters of the World Unite
Won't go down without a fight
Monsters of the World Unite!!
Oh, even the Bat Boy needs a friend
It's time for the fairy tales to end
CHORUS
Monsters of the World Unite
Monsters of the World Unite
Won't go down without a fight
Monsters of the World Unite!!

Stuck In Time
02:37
|

|
Every woman an Indian Princess
Every man known as Chief
All the children want to play cowboys
Stuck in time
Stuck in time
All the wisdom of the elders
Every one of their greatest words
Are printed on sepia postcards
Stuck in time
Stuck in time
When did I last ride horseback?
Dressed in feathers and buckskin?
Oh, where did I get lost in time?
Can't stop the drums in silence
Can't be trapped in black and white
Won't go quietly into oblivion
Stuck in time
Stuck in time

The salmon were running
And the sun was slow in coming
As he crossed the water
He thought about their offer
Another speech then
From the noble Chieftan
Words that get you thinking
And full of guilty feeling
CHORUS
"How can you buy or sell
The earth beneath your feet?"
Time will only tell
Whose words live on
Beyond their time
He's famous for speaking
The truth about the Indian
And everybody quotes it
Although he never wrote it
The town is known by his name
As all the signs to proclaim
His statue stands so stern
By the Chief Seattle Tavern
CHORUS

Indian Bones
02:42
|
|||
|
On a dusty shelf
Old Indian Bones
Take on a life
Of their own
They want to dance
They want to sing
But there's just one thing
They do not have
CHORUS
A home
Home
Old Indian Bones
Want to be free
Can't get 'em back
Without I.D.
Filed in a box
No names on top
It's the only thing
They haven't got
CHORUS
A home
Home
Maybe one day
Old Indian Bones
Won't be warehoused
Or be shown
Then they can dance
Then they can sing
The only thing
That matters now is...
CHORUS
A home
Home
For my Indian Bones

Troubled Man
04:52
|
|||
|
I'm sitting down in the air
No more answers on the ground
It's where I go to think things through
And sift the lies from the truth
All the world is upside down
There's no recovery in sight
A telephone pole does me good
My only friend's made out of wood!
CHORUS
Ooh, what a troubled man
Ooh, what a troubled man
Ooh, what a troubled man
Ooh, with a troubled plan
And if you think I'm a mirror
I don't know
Gotta work it out alone
I've got too much on my mind
My solution has drawn a crowd
Why do they want to bring me down
My hands don't touch the wire
I better go before they fire
I saw myself on the news
Oh, the video never lies
Like an animal in a cage
Good intentions cause me rage
CHORUS
Ooh, what a troubled man
Ooh, what a troubled man
Ooh, what a troubled man
Ooh, with a troubled plan
