Two Tongues |
| 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 |
