lyrics

Mr. Noon
empties the river
and paints his name in the dust
at the crossroads of yesterday and never
where they edit the faith that is lost

Mr. Noon
changes the number
of the gods that they never knew
In the places where the women plead for mercy
and every last word rings true

In the dry haze where I saw
Crazy Horse returning where
every white face is but a dream
All invisible
and patient to flaw
Beneath the sky of Wounded Knee
An abstract palette for an unsure portrait
and the myth again clean
and Mr. Noon stands there at the crossroads
where everything is not what it seems

Mr. Noon
changes the carpet
that stretches out flawed
Parade the ghosts past the kiosk
where sin received the host

Mr. Noon
bleeds for the martyrs
and holds a place for the lost
electric lies that lengthen the night
and bury the ground in white frost

In the red dust I saw
congealed where we lost
every frightened heart to the machine
On Cheyenne Avenue
where peace comes to a chosen few
with a token to buy away the dream

Mr. Noon
advertises resurrection
on the crosses of the Paiute
Standing cold alone at the crossroads
where everything is not quite what it seems

For that, see the links below. ... more
