Four Winds - Bright Eyes

[00:59.65]Your class, your caste, your country, sect, your name or your tribe
[01:03.20]There＇s people always dying trying to keep them alive
[01:06.08]
[01:06.70]His body＇s decomposing in containers tonight
[01:08.82]
[01:09.88]In an abandoned building where
[01:12.13]
[01:14.00]A squatter＇s made a mural of a Mexican girl
[01:16.87]
[01:17.55]With fifteen cans of spray paint and a chemical swirl
[01:20.36]
[01:21.17]She＇s standing in the ashes at the end of the world
[01:24.48]Four winds blowing through her hair
[01:27.54]But when great Satan＇s gone, the whore of Babylon
[01:33.72]
[01:35.03]She just can＇t sustain the pressure where it＇s placed
[01:41.58]She caves
[01:43.83]
[02:01.92]The Bible＇s blind, the Torah＇s deaf, the Qu＇ran＇s mute
[02:06.04]If you burn them all together you get close to the truth still
[02:09.04]They are pouring over sanskrit on the ivy league moons
[02:12.66]While shadows lengthen the sun
[02:14.96]
[02:15.96]Cast off the schools of meditation built to soften the times
[02:19.02]
[02:19.89]And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds
[02:22.58]
[02:23.45]It＇s knocking over fences, crossing property lines
[02:25.95]
[02:26.64]Four winds, cry until it comes
[02:29.07]
[02:29.88]And it＇s the son of man
[02:32.93]
[02:33.50]Slouching towards Bethlehem
[02:35.87]
[02:37.24]A heart just can＇t contain all of that empty space
[02:43.61]
[02:45.04]It breaks, it breaks, it breaks
[02:53.71]
[03:06.76]Well, I went back to my rented Cadillac and company jet
[03:09.50]
[03:10.44]Like a newly orphaned refugee, retracing my steps
[03:13.31]
[03:14.30]All the way to Cassadaga to commune with the dead
[03:17.05]
[03:17.61]They said, ＂You＇d better look alive＂
[03:20.11]
[03:21.24]And I was off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps
[03:24.11]
[03:25.04]In the black hills, the bad lands, the calloused east
[03:27.78]
[03:28.60]I buried my ballast, I made my peace
[03:31.28]
[03:31.78]With four winds, levelling the pines
[03:33.71]
[03:34.90]But when great Satan＇s gone, the whore of Babylon
[03:40.65]
[03:42.08]She just can＇t compete with all that outer space
[03:48.06]
[03:49.81]She breaks, she breaks, she caves, she caves
