INDIGO GIRLS - Jonas & Ezekial lyrics

rate me

I left my anger in a river running highway 5<br>New hampshire, vermont, bordered by<br>College farms, hubcaps, and falling rocks<br>Voices in the woods and the mountaintops<br><br>I used to search for reservations and native lands<br>Before I realized everywhere I stand<br>There have tribal feet running wild as fire<br>Some past life sister of my desire<br><br>Jonas and ezekial hear me now<br>Steady now and don't come out<br>I'm not ready for the dead to show it's face<br>Whose turn is it anyway? <br>Anyway? <br><br>Now when I was young my people taught me well<br>Give back what you take or you'll go to hell<br>It's not the devil's land, you know it's not that kind<br>Every devil I meet becomes a friend of mine<br>Every devil I meet is an angel in disguise<br><br>Jonas and ezekial hear me now<br>Steady now and don't come out<br>I'm not ready for the dead to show it's face<br>Whose angel are you anyway? <br><br>White - chain - rope - fear<br>(hush my darling)<br>Be still my dear<br><br>A bullet in the head, now he's dead<br>A friend of a friend, someone said<br>He was an activist with a very short life<br>I think there's a lesson here - he died without a fight<br><br>In the war over land where the world began<br>Prophecies say it's where the world will end<br>But there's a tremor growing in our backyard<br>Fear in our heads, fear in our hearts<br>Prophets in the graveyard<br><br>Jonas and ezekial hear me now<br>Steady now and don't come out<br>I'm not ready for the dead to show it's face<br>Whose turn is it anyway? <br><br>Jonas and ezekial hear me now<br>Steady now I feel your ghost about<br>I'm not ready for the dead to show it's face<br>Whose angel are you anyway? <br><br>I said there's prophets in the graveyard<br>(now I walk in beauty)<br>Prophets in the graveyard<br>(beauty is before me)<br>Prophets in the graveyard<br>(beauty is behind me)<br>(above and below me)
