Joni Mitchell - Paprika Plains слова песни

It fell from midnight skiesIt drummed on the galvanizedIn the washroom, women tracked the rainUp to the make-up mirrorLiquid soap and grassAnd jungle gardenia crashOn pine-sol and beer ...Its stifling in here ...Ive got to get some air ...Im going outside to get some airBack in my hometownThey would have cleared the floorJust to watch the rain come down!Theyre such sky oriented people--Geared to changing weather ...Im floating off in timeIm floating offIm floating off in timeWhen I was three feet tallAnd wide eyed open to it allWith their tasseled teams they cameTo mcgees general storeAll in their beaded leathersI would tie on colored feathersAnd Id beat the drum like war ...I would beat the drum like warId beat the drumId beat the drum like warBut when the church got throughThey traded their beads for bottlesSmashed--on railway avenueAnd they cut off their braidsAnd lost some link with natureIm floating into dreamsIm floating offIm floating into my dreamsI dream paprika plainsVast and bleak and God forsakenPaprika plainsAnd a turquoise river snaking(where crows gaze--vigilant on wiresWhere cattle graze the grassesFar from the digits of business hoursThe moon clock wanes and waxes--But here all time is stripped awayNowhere on these plainsIs a sprout or an egg in evidenceTo measure loss or gain ...Only a little indian bandCome down from some windy mesaNo women to make them food and childNo expressions on their facesIm low in a helicopterAnd the wind from whirling bladesFlaps their woven blanketsAnd flags their raven braidsHow came they to this emptiness? How came they to this dream? How came I to this viewFrom a flying machineOf earth and air and waterAnd a band of indian menWithout herds or flocks or cropsOr families or fires to tend? Like a phoenix up from ashes nowA blanket figure springsWith a fist raised up to turquoise skiesLike libertyAnd at the point of vanishingWhere the sky and the earth meetA bomb bloomsDeadly mushroomWhiteGoldHeatLike a phoenix up from ashesUp from violent mysteriesAnd growing till the giant blastIs to it like a golfers teeThere comes a childs beach ballAnd memory takes me backTo the beach to toss it upTo the garage to get it patchedA pink and yellow beach ballRollingGrandDetachedTurning the blues and greens of earthFrom space probe photographsI float out of the hovercraftNaked as infancyAnd weightlessAnd driftingHorizontallyLike a filing to a magnetLike the long descent of rainI am drawnI fall against the ballAnd lose paprika plainsI suckle at my mothers breastI embrace my mother earthI remember perforated blindsOver the crib of my birthAnd just as eve succumbedTo reckless curiosityI take my sharpest fingernailAnd slash the globe to seeBelow me--Vast paprika plainsAnd the snake the river tracesAnd a little band of indian menWith no expressions on their faces.)The rain retreatsLike troops to fall on other fields and streetsMeanwhile theyre sweet talking and name callingAnd brawling on the fringes of the floorI spot you through the smokeWith your eyes on fireFrom j&b and cokeAs Im coming through the doorIm coming backIm coming back for more!The band plugs in againYou see that mirrored ball begin to sputter lightsAnd spinDizzy on the dancersGeared to changing rhythmsNo matter what you doIm floating backIm floating back to you!
