Attakapa

Wagon wheel keeps on rolling
Out of control and out of time
Try to stop the rain with a fire dance
Took my chances, but I'm still in a trance

Take me to the ocean the spirits keep at bay
Down by the ocean, wash away

Passing through to get across to see what I might find
The games that I once taught using a four inch line
Caught a snake and raven, tails of rats and eagle eye
All that's been denied revealed

Take me to the ocean the spirits keep at bay
Down by the ocean, wash away

Let us lay down the land we founded
Rest in our homes, call our own
Pray to our gods we've contacted lately
To make peace with our pipes
Carved out of stone, rest in our homes, call our own

Hear them crying in the morning wind
Off in the distance a young boy dies
Hear his mother weeping I say to you
You lost your land but they can't steal your soul

Take me to the ocean the spirits keep at bay
Down by the ocean, wash away

Let us lay down the land we founded
Rest in our homes, call our own
Pray to our gods we've contacted lately
To make peace with our pipes
Carved out of stone, rest in our homes, call our own

Let us lay down the land we founded
Rest in our homes, call our own
Pray to our gods we've contacted lately
To make peace with our pipes
Carved out of stone

Take me to the ocean the spirits keep at bay
Down by the ocean, wash away

Pray to our gods we've contacted lately
To make peace with our pipes
Carved out of stone, rest in our homes, call our own
