Me and my mother and father and grandmother [Gb] and grandpa were driving at dawn [B] and a truckload
of Indian workers either hit another car or [Ab] justI
don't [C] know what happened.
But there were Indians scattered all over the highway bleeding.
[E] So the car pulls [Bb] out the stuff.
That was the first time I tasted fear.
I used to then.more. [N] Like a child is like a flower. His head is just floating in the breeze. The [A] reaction I get now thinking about [C] it, looking back, is that the souls and the ghosts of those dead [Bb] Indians, maybe one or two of them, were just [Eb] running around, freaking out and just leaped [C] into my sleep. [Eb] Is everybody [A] in? [Bb] Is everybody in? [C] [G] [Bbm] Is everybody in? The ceremony is about to begin. WAKE UP! [D] [Ab] SHOOT [Db] EVERYTHING! [G] PLEASE STOP! [Ab]
[Em]
Awake. Shake dreams near here, my pretty child, my sweet one. Choose the day and choose the sign of your day, the [D] day's divinity. [Em] First thing you see. [Gb] [Em] A vast, [G] radiant beach and a cool, jeweled [E] moon. [Em] Couples, naked, race down by its quiet side. And we laugh [E] like soft, mad [A] children, [Em] smug in the woolly [Bm] cotton brains of infancy. [Em] The music and voices are all [A] around us. [Em] [A] [Gbm] [G]

Choose, they croon, the ancient ones. The time has come again. Choose now, they croon, beneath the moon, beside an ancient [A] lake. [Em] Enter again the sweet forest. Enter the hot dream. Come with us. Everything is broken up and [A] dances. [E] [G] [A] [E] [G] [E]
