Lyrics:

I''m Don Juan''s reckless daughter**lf**I came out two days on your tail**lf**Those two bald-headed days in November**lf**Before the first snowflakes sail**lf**Out on the vast and subtle plains of mystery**lf**A split tongue spirit talks**lf**Noble as a nickel chief**lf**Striking up an old juke box**lf**And he says:**lf**''Snakes along the railroad tracks.''**lf**He says, ''Eagles in jet trails ...''**lf**He says, ''Coils around feathers and talons on scales ...**lf**Gravel under the belly plates ...''**lf**He says, ''Wind in the Wings ...''**lf**He says, ''Big bird dragging it''s tail in the dust ...**lf**Snake kite flying on a string.''**lf**I come from open prairie**lf**Given some wisdom and a lot of jive!**lf**Last night the ghosts of my old ideas**lf**Reran on channel five**lf**And it howled so spooky for it''s eagle soul**lf**I nearly broke down and cried**lf**But the split tongue spirit laughed at me**lf**He says, ''Your serpent cannot be denied.''**lf**Our serpents love the whisky bars**lf**They love the romance of the crime**lf**But didn''t I see a neon sign**lf**Fester on your hotel blind**lf**And a country road come off the wall**lf**And swoop down at the crowd at the bar**lf**And put me at the top of your danger list**lf**Just for being so much like you are!**lf**You''re a coward against the altitude--**lf**You''re a coward against the flesh--**lf**Coward--caught between yes and no**lf**Reckless this time on the line for yes, yes, yes!**lf**Reckless brazen in the play**lf**Of your changing traffic lights**lf**Coward--slinking down the hall**lf**To another restless night**lf**As we center behind the eight ball**lf**As we rock between the sheets**lf**As we siphon the colored language**lf**Off the farms and the streets**lf**Here in Good-Old-God-Save-America**lf**The home of the brave and the free**lf**We are all hopelessly oppressed cowards**lf**Of some duality**lf**Of restless multiplicity**lf**(Oh say can you see)**lf**Restless for streets and honky tonks**lf**Restless for home and routine**lf**Restless for country-safety-and her**lf**Restless for the likes of reckless me**lf**Restless sweeps like fire and rain**lf**Over virgin wilderness**lf**It prowls like hookers and thieves**lf**Through bolt locked tenements**lf**Behind my bolt locked door**lf**The eagle and the serpent are at war in me**lf**The serpent fighting for blind desire**lf**The eagle for clarity**lf**What strange prizes these battles bring**lf**These hectic joys-these weary blues**lf**Puffed up and strutting when I think I win**lf**Down and shaken when I think I lose**lf**There are rivets up here in this eagle**lf**There are box cars down there on your snake**lf**And we are twins of spirit**lf**No matter which route home we take**lf**Or what we forsake**lf**We''re going to come up to the eyes of clarity**lf**And we''ll go down to the beads of guile**lf**There is danger and education**lf**In living out such a reckless life style**lf**I touched you on the central plains**lf**It was plane to train my twin**lf**It was just plane shadow to train shadow**lf**But to me it was skin to skin**lf**The spirit talks in spectrums**lf**He talks to mother earth to father sky**lf**Self indulgence to self denial**lf**Man to woman**lf**Scales to feathers**lf**You and I**lf**Eagles in the sky**lf**You and I**lf**Snakes in the grass**lf**You and I**lf**Crawl and fly**lf**You and I**lf**LyricsFreak
