I know you're gonna fall on me
Then you'll say you're feelin' free
Gonna say you've got to leave to be
Somethin' you want the world to see
Through the mirrored glasses on your heart
Hey Mary.... just please don't fall apart
Your empty lots are fillin' up
you're drinkin' from a dirty cup
Givin' shelter to a rabid pup
That supplies you rocks to smash your luck
Into the burning embers of your mind
Hey Mary... just pleas don't fall behind
The closing hand that keeps you bound
Has led you to some island town
To sip the rhum that tears you down
Inside this cave that can't be found
Without crawling first through fire and falling trees
Hey Mary... make me end up on my knees

These wretched hearts of Babylon
are slippin' through the wings of one
who's wisdom has not blown upon this peace
Can your little wisdom steal the peace?
I've sat here waiting all these years
for that that was never ever clear
like a tic on a limb waiting for its moment
waiting for the blood of a single shining moment.
We've lifted up beyond the faces
the feted roots and empty spaces
revealing what this silence slips to one
revealing what the silence has begun.
These tender hearts that beat upon
these red hot roads of Babylon
are now broken open bare and blazing free
broken bare and blazing by the sea.

The Crime

Who's gonna look after all these indians
Who's gonna tell them what can't be told
What are the chances we'll remember
What happenned on that ancient bloody road
What happenned down on that road
I stood with John Trudell beneath the flagpole
Small talk beneath old glory there
I felt it hangin' heavy in the Sunlight
Its shadow slowly creepin' through my hair
shadows creepin' through our hair
Who's gonna do this now if I don't?
Who's killin' who again this year?
Shove another dose of hope down my throat
I just got better at holdin' back the tears
I'm damn good at pushin' back the tears
I think there's a mighty storm a comin'
Far from New Orleans this time
They can throw us into these prisons forever
But we know now who really did the crime
John... we've not forgot the crime
