Four winds |

[00:59.84] |
Your class, your caste, your country, sect, your name or your tribe |
[01:03.69] |
There's people always dying trying to keep them alive |
[01:09.36] |
His body's decomposing in containers tonight |
[01:10.55] |
In an abandoned building where |
[01:14.76] |
A squatter's made a mural of a Mexican girl |
[01:18.56] |
With fifteen cans of spray paint and a chemical swirl |
[01:23.92] |
She's standing in the ashes at the end of the world |
[01:25.20] |
Four winds blowing through her hair |
[01:28.10] |
But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon |
[01:35.95] |
She just can't sustain the pressure where it's placed |
[01:43.29] |
She caves |
[02:02.52] |
The Bible's blind, the Torah's deaf, the Qu'ran's mute |
[02:08.28] |
If you burn them all together you get close to the truth still |
[02:11.72] |
They are pouring over Sanskrit on the ivy league moons |
[02:13.25] |
While shadows lengthen the sun |
[02:16.31] |
Cast all the school and meditation built to soften the times |
[02:22.57] |
And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds |
[02:25.47] |
It's knocking over fences, crossing property lines |
[02:28.64] |
Four winds, cry until it comes |
[02:30.85] |
And it's the sum of man |
[02:34.26] |
Slouching towards Bethlehem |
[02:38.38] |
A heart just can't contain all of that empty space |
[02:45.76] |
It breaks, it breaks, it breaks |
[03:07.76] |
Well, I went back by rented Cadillac, and company jet |
[03:11.65] |
Like a newly orphaned refugee, retracing my steps |
[03:17.26] |
All the way to Casa Dega to commune with the dead |
[03:19.17] |
They said, "You'd better look alive" |
[03:22.30] |
And I was off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps |
[03:26.62] |
In the black hills, the bad lands, the calloused east |
[03:31.41] |
I buried my ballast, I made my peace |
[03:32.58] |
With four winds, leveling the pines |
[03:35.37] |
|
[03:38.27] |
But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon |
[03:42.86] |
She just can't remain with all that outer space |
[03:51.25] |
She breaks, she breaks, she caves, she caves. |
[04:05.30] |
