Jonas & Ezekial - Live 1992

I left my anger in a river running Highway 5
New Hampshire, Vermont, bordered by
College farms, hubcaps and fallin' rocks
Voices in the woods and the mountaintops

I used to search for reservations and native land
Before I realized everywhere I stand
There have been tribal feet running wild as fire
Some past life sister of my desire

Jonas and Ezekiel hear me now, said
Steady now and don't come out
I'm not ready for the dead to show its face
Whose turn is it anyway?
Anyway

Now when I was young my people taught me well
Give back what you take or you'll go to hell
But it's not the devil's land, you know it's not that kind
Every devil I meet becomes a friend of mine
Every devil I meet is an angel in disguise

Jonas and Ezekiel hear me now
Steady now and don't come out
I'm not ready for the dead to show its face
Whose angel are you anyway?

Ha, ha, huh, uh-huh-uh
Ha, ha, huh, uh-huh-uuh
Huh-ooh-ah-ah
Ba-da-da-boom

Whites (hush, my)
Chain, rope (baby)
Fear (and)
Be still my dear

A bullet in the head, now he's dead (oh, oh, ah, ah)
A friend of a friend, someone said (oh, oh-oh-oh, ah-ah)
He was an activist with a very short life
I think there's a lesson here, he died without a fight

In the war over land where the world began
Prophecies say it's where the world will end
That there's a tremor growing in our own backyard
(And there's fear) fear in our heads and (fear) fear in our hearts
Prophets in the graveyard (prophets in the)

Jonas and Ezekiel hear me now (graveyard)
Steady now and don't come out
I'm not ready for the dead to show its face
Whose turn is it anyway?

I said now, Jonas, Ezekiel hear me now (Jonas, Ezekiel)
Steady now, I feel your ghost about (steady now, ghost about)
I'm not ready for the dead to show its face
Whose angel are you anyway?

I said there's prophets in the graveyard (now I walk in beauty)
Prophets in the graveyard (beauty is before me)
Prophets in the graveyard (beauty is behind me)
Above and below me

Thank you
Thanks y'all
