Band - Rattlebone lyrics

Pay no mind to his messed up hair Pay no mind to the clothes he wears It's just the hours he's been keepin' Ain't been doing too much sleeping They dyed his hair and hid his feathers And told him he was latin 'til he came chanting down the street Like a cannibal in manhattan Chorus: Rattlebone Rattlebone Shake it for the war chief All night long Rattlebone Rattlebone Sweet medicine To each his own One sky above One earth below One sky above us One earth below Chorus Here's where we go off the map Out past the power lines Up that little side road without a sign Hidden from the mainstream The keepers of the ancient future Keepers of the drum They don't preserve it They live it Rattlebone Rattlebone Shake it for the war chief All night long Rattlebone Rattlebone Get down on your knees And praise the dawn Chorus
