At the farm in the east babe With your mom and your pop and your brother, your just all runnin’ down the rain In late 62 one night back in June A big bang, flash of light, from the barn, you know something ain’t right now baby And it’s all OK, it’s all OK, so they say Fall asleep now cool wind blew With the soul, of a friend, that was taken, at the mercy of ya you baby You’ve got red hands and you’ve got black heart With your friends and your home and your heroes, there all left to roam ya baby And it’s all OK, it’s all OK, so they say – ooohhh ooohhhh ooohhhh oohhhh And your all just running down the rain And it’s all OK, it’s all OK, so they say – ooohhh ooohhhh ooohhhh oohhhh And your all just running down the rain

I got people running in the back of my house I don't think I'll ever be saved I got people talking through the soles of their shoes I don't think they'll ever behave She knows its true It's the purple little people all looking at you And you say that you know With a dollar for an hour at the TRAPPERS CABIN Show I got people running in the back of my house I don't think I'll ever be saved I got people talking through the soles of their shoes I don't think they'll ever behave She knows and I too That the people on the mountain well there calling for you And you say that you know That the Tower is the power and it's time we all go AND THAT'S ME I got people running in the back of my house I don't think I'll ever be saved I got people talking through the red in their eyes I don't think they'll ever behave I know that you Well gather all your friends and take a trip to the zoo with your head and your soul and your tower full of power and your old rock n roll AND THAT'S ME AND THAT'S ME

The wandering horse Mirabel 03:18
lyrics

She's got a way, she's got a soul, she's got everything you need She's bailing hay, she's in control, she's a help when you're planting seed And she ain't got no money, she's got telepathic hands In the Rocky Mountain nighttime, northern lights defend the land She's off to the woods, up to the old red canyon creek Takes a deep breath, relax sinks below, its time to set that spirit free She starts to remember, running with her mommy free In the Rocky Mountain nighttime, northern lights will let her see Old old Mirabel, don't you follow me down Cause when the morning comes with it's unkind drums And the crack of the whip will sound, you don't forget, you'll never forget She had a way, she had a home, she had everything you need But she knew her role, she was alone, no more fight left to proceed And now she's riding solo, her spirit gone through time and space In the Rocky Mountain nighttime, the northern lights they form her face

Look at that meat, Look at that meat, Look at that meat, Fallin’ off the bones - Say Hello TO MY FRIENDS!! Look at that meat, Look at that meat, Look at that meat, Fallin’ off the bones - Say Hello TO MY FRIENDS!! I have a mind that is GENIUS – I am only 30 years old – this little mind of mine that’s GENIUS – It makes it hard to leave my home Look at that meat, Look at that meat, Look at that meat, Fallin’ off the bones - Say Hello TO MY FRIENDS!! Look at that meat, Look at that meat, Look at that meat, Fallin’ off the bones - Say Hello TO MY FRIENDS!! There’s a bear over there and it’s getting it’s hair ripped right out of it’s body – body body body body, and that’s really sad Wo oh oh, that’s really sad I have a mind that is GENIUS – I am only 30 years old – this little mind of mine that’s GENIUS – It makes it hard to leave my home Look at that meat, Look at that meat, Look at that meat, Fallin’ off the bones - Say Hello TO MY FRIENDS!! Look at that meat, Look at that meat, Look at that meat, Fallin’ off the bones - Say Hello TO MY FRIENDS!!

If time had no buffalo would the range be free and the flowers grow and I know I said o Lord I know And with the power of the mighty sands would the rooster crow his hidden plans and I know I said o Lord I know And the mighty klan with the turtle feet clammy hands on a clammy street and I know I said boy I know And I'd never seen the trees so thin stagnet pools of bloody gin and I know I know I know I know And she lost her dogs both Killer and Roy she'd jump for cover and they'd run for joy and I know I said o Lord I know And this faceless wall of ignorant sap dripping down from a sticky map of my home and I said o boy I know And your walking through the woods one day and a sudden pain rips through your veins and you know that it's time to let go And you fall to earth with watery eyes memories fill the cloudy skies and you know they've killed your blue soul And the hunter moves with a happy trot alone your left with a fatal shot to die alone and I say o Lord I know If time had no buffalo would the range be free and the flowers grow and I know I said o Lord I know You will fly with the Autumn Dog in the summer solstice and when the snow falls you will wash your hands And in your ear a subtle tune you'll hear an eclipse in old Denver And the animals graze and you just watch it all You're a friend of the Autumn Dog You're a friend of the Autumn Dog You're a friend of the Autumn Dog You're a friend of the Autumn Dog A filling moon will take the center stage shining through the green pine tops and the happy wolf will make his heart known And in your ear a subtle tune you'll hear an Eclipse by John Denver And the radio plays and you just watch it all You're a friend of the Autumn Dog You're a friend of the Autumn Dog You're a friend of the Autumn Dog You're a friend of the Autumn Dog
