Geronimo

歌詞

Oh, what you feel! It was a wildcat of a hot night The stars were rippin' holes in the sky The crickets in the thicket clicked quicker every minute Poppin' like a fourth of July On a tall paint pony in a bolt of white light Rode a fire-eyed medicine man He said, "My name is Jerome and you're standin' in my home" Haunting was a song that he sang He said, "The salt from my tears made a mountain so high The moon had to jump to get over I was cheated and beat but I never denied The sun's my daddy and the earth is my mama Wanderin' ghosts, you made my tribe and my bride Their prayers filled my ears as they fell Then you drug me through the gutter 'till it hurt like hell But if you think I look bad Baby, better check out yourself He said, "Your bad dreams spinnin' in my mama's head You strapped the foul-breathed wolf to her back You ride a steel horse, racin' toward a rainbow's end While her seas and her rivers run black" He said "Look what you done to her native son Buddy, look what you did to her skies You trap her power and her glory in your company funds But your prophets only make me cry" He said, "The moon had to jump to get over I was cheated and beat but I never denied The sun's my daddy and the earth is my mama Wanderin' ghosts, you made my tribe and my bride Their prayers filled my ears as they fell Then you drug me through the gutter 'till it hurt like hell But if you think I look bad Baby, better check out yourself" now What you feel! He said, "Boy, can't you see that you're part of the planet No less or more than the sea or the granite She tries to give you all her love Still you just want to ride her What will you give for your last cup of water What kind of price will you put on your brother What are the secrets of your soul she's keeping Deep down inside her Unless you really want to know, don't ask Geronimo Unless you really want to know, don't ask Geronimo...
