"Dizzy"
(written by Kristin
Hersh)
Hunkpapa Version:
Along the Palo Duro canyon
Red river
shows so many eyes
One eye squinting, shaded from the sun,
Shoot me
Black as oil, his hair shone
Lily
white, his skin glistened
Restless as the reed between his lips blew
It's just that mean old Texas sun
It
makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
What day is this?
I, quiet, asked the sky
What
time is it?
He asked me, stitting up
Love that villain on the run
He's got me spinning 'round
and falling on my head
What are you running from?
I asked the white boy
From the guys who chase
me there, come run
I need your dark skin
To sit beside me in my car
Light up my cigar, I'll
light you
It's just that mean old Texas sun
It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
Love
that villain on the run
He's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head
And dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in
my head
He said "you're only Indian in Oklahoma,
You could be melting in America"
White on red,
melt with my skin
These two hearts will beat along the walls of our hotel
I need your dark skin
To
sit beside me in my car
Light up my cigar, I'll light you
It's just that mean old Texas sun
It
makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
The last I saw of Oklahoma
A gas station fading in the dusk
Goodbye
my father
I thought, I'm carrying the light
The light of my Comanche
Make sure the dog remembers
me
I dream the sand beneath your feet
I hold the light
It's just that mean old Texas sun
It
makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
Love that villain on the run
He's got me spinning 'round and falling
on my head
And dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy
Dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, in my head
