High Plains Alchemy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Rust on the weather vane Cricket on the window pane Oh I I just look up towards the sky The sky don't say nothin' back It just glares red until it's black Oh I I'm so tired of asking why [Chorus] Why the bridge is burnin' Why no work crop turnin' Another baby, another burden Come on lift the curtain for me I need a little high plains alchemy [Verse 2] Goin' out to the reservation Goin' out to Cherokee nation to find To find that rain dancin' fool Tell him I want a bolt of lightning I want a hot electric frightenin' Oh I I wanna see what he can do [Chorus] Come on, send a little water Not for me, for my daughter Into this world I brought her To this brought her to see A little high plains alchemy [Solo] [Verse 3] I went to church to pray for rain It didn't bring no change Oh I You fool me once, well you fool me twice I want it all comin' down I want the river runnin' sound Oh I I need a'something for this field to rise [Chorus] Come on, send a little water Not for me, for my daughter Into this world I brought her To this brought her to see A little high plains alchemy All the bridges burnin' Got no work crop turnin' Another baby, another burden Come on lift the curtain for me I need a little high plains alchemy [Outro]
