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