Rickie Lee Jones - Liner notes слова песни
Now the birds speak in secret rhythmsand the trees bark in secret soundsand the people speak in secret thoughtand they push the thoughts into the shape of wordsand sometimes someone among us sticks her head into the shiny phosphorus blue vatof languageand listens, like a skeletonto the pulsing of life within,and she tells usof secret rattling anglesto watch for and to reach intowith strange oceansand deafening skiesthat can be mapped and measuredonly by soundsand never by meanings and once we can tell where we areusing the nearest staras it relates to the ragged waterthen we can plant our feet into the good groundand go to the rodeoand answer the plum-colored hawkand sing to the riverin good faithgod presses his mouth around our headhe breathes outhe breathes inand we are resuscitated in the goofy atmosphere of godwhere there are highways and bowlingand tattooed by the suna circusmade by the prayer of breathing and living hopeand barbed eyeswhere coyotes hangand cowboys hammerposts and branchesto keep us insideas much as keep someone outand the prayer that isand it is answered with a breathgods lips against our ownwe breathe inwe breathe outhe breathes outand sighalive againthe unexpecteddiscoveryof a b-sideof lifea map of voicesa warning to others who would come this wayan animal who has seen thingsa horn twisted into shapes understood by strangersrecognized by demonsan invitation inthe secret language of treessung in wild shapesby a child
