These sacred hills contain the heart of everything
They came to dig for Gold and they re still digging for another seam

The ghost dancers sing to bring back the vanquished
A century older and mourners still wipe away tears
Peoples dreams died here

Well so it goes
This was how the west was won
Drunken Navajos at the end of John Wayne s gun
Earning a pittance in monument valley
A history re written over and over again
An irony not lost on them

For a handful of pearls we could have bought Manhattan
And we could be living there still
Four Hundred promises that crumbled into nothing
And dignity all but distilled
For a Handful of pearls

In the mobile homes where the prefabs and the debris stand
Lies the empty shell of a people and a tired land
The dust in the bars of the Sioux reservation
Are a million miles from civilisation and you
And more statistic that we never knew

For a handful of pearls we could have bought Manhattan
And we could be living there still
Four Hundred promises that crumbled into nothing
We could have stayed there until
Just a handful of pearls could have bought us nothing
Only the motive to kill
And we choke on the words
When every four hours someone is footing the bill
For a handful of pearls

Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I...

She doesn t have a prayer
And I?m no worse for wear
I close my eyes, gentle, slow
There?s no way out, there?s no place to go

Spinnin in circles, waitin for the chance to come
In and out of love that?s already just...

You know the potion is real
You know the light is there
You drive all the way downtown
Just to be alone
You fear your system is choking
But won t beware
Desperate to find a body
That won t go stale
Your stomach burns without desire
Your incompleteness leaves a lot to be
Riding the wave of a new...

Moving out to the countryside
to see what opportunities arise
i hope that you can find a place
and maybe i will follow one day

computer time and you have what it takes
to get your heads down and be those greats
henry helped us realise
its worth it...

And give me a chance to show you that I m true
Just as if the sky were always blue
I have learned to not be here right now
I can ignore the animals in the background

It s so important to me to see you everyday
I really can t believe that I forgot...
