מילים לשיר Don Juan's Reckless Daughter – Joni Mitchell

I'm Don Juan's reckless daughter
I came out two days on your tail
Those two baldOut on the vast and subtle plains of mystery
Before the first snowflakes sail
A split tongue spirit talks
Striking up an old juke box
Noble as a nickel chief
And he says&"Snakes along the railroad tracks."
He says, "Eagles in jet trails ."
Gravel under the belly plates ."
He says, "Coils around feathers and talons on scales .
He says, "Wind in the Wings ."
He says, "Big bird dragging its tail in the dust .
Snake kite flying on a string." Given some wisdom and a lot of jive!
I come from open prairie
Last night the ghosts of my old ideas
Reran on channel five
And it howled so spooky for its eagle soul
I nearly broke down and cried
But the split tongue spirit laughed at me
He says, "Your serpent cannot be denied."
They love the romance of the crime
Our serpents love the whisky bars
But didn't I see a neon sign
Fester on your hotel blind
And a country road come off the wall
And swoop down at the crowd at the bar
Just for being so much like you are!
And put me at the top of your danger list You're a coward against the altitudeYou're a coward against the fleshCowardReckless this time on the line for yes, yes, yes!
Reckless brazen in the play
Of your changing traffic lights
Cowardto another restless night
As we center behind the eight ball
As we rock between the sheets
As we siphon the colored language
Off the farms and the streets
Here in Goodthe home of the brave and the free
We are all hopelessly oppressed cowards
Of some duality
Of restless multiplicity
(Oh say can you see) Restless for streets and honky tonks Restless for countryRestless for home and routine
Restless for the likes of reckless me
Restless sweeps like fire and rain
Over virgin wilderness
It prowls like hookers and thieves
Through bolt locked tenements
The eagle and the serpent are at war in me
Behind my bolt locked door
The serpent fighting for blind desire
The eagle for clarity
Puffed up and strutting when I think I win
What strange prizes these battles bring
These hectic joysDown and shaken when I think I lose
There are rivets up here in this eagle
There are box cars down there on your snake
And we are twins of spirit
No matter which route home we take
Or what we forsake
And we'll go down to the beads of guile
We're going to come up to the eyes of clarity
In living out such a reckless life style
There is danger and education
I touched you on the central plains
It was plane to train my twin
It was just plane shadow to train shadow
But to me it was skin to skin
The spirit talks in spectrums
He talks to mother earth to father sky
Self indulgence to self denial
Man to woman
Scales to feathers
Eagles in the sky
You and I
You and I
Snakes in the grass
You and I
You and ICrawl and fly.
