Ghost Dance
Written by - Patti Smith & Lenny Kaye
From - Easter
We shall live again
We shall live

What is it children that falls from the sky?
Tayi, taya, tayi
Aye aye
Mannah from Heaven from the most high
Food from the father, tayi, taye aye

We shall live again
We shall live again
We shall live again
Shake out the ghost dance

Peace to your brother
Give and take peace
Tayi, taya
It leaves two feet
One foot extended
Snake to the ground
Wave up the Earth
One turn around

We shall live again
We shall live again
We shall live again
Shake out the ghost dance

Stretch out your arms
Now tip and swing
Rude up thy bird
Tayi, tayi
Threw out your shoe over the soil
Dust off the words that shaped from the tale

We shall live again
We shall live again
We shall live again
Shake out the ghost dance

Here we are
Father, Lord, Holy Ghost
Bread of your bread
Ghost of your host
We are the tears that fall from your eyes
Word of your word
Cry of your cry

We shall live again
We shall live again
We shall live again

What is it, Father
In your eye
What is this wisdom
Eyes of God
That makes me feel just what I need
You used to fly me the way to speed

What is it, Father
Holy that night?
What is it, Father
That moves to the right?
What is it, Father
That is waiting in Heaven?
What is it, Father
That shapes from your hand?
What is it, Father
That makes me spin around?
What is it, Father
That brings me down?
What is it, Father
You can't tell what I like
What is it, Father
I just ride into space
What is it, Father
I can tell you one night
What is it, Father
I can tell what I like
What is it, Father
Are you into shape?
What is it, Father
Are you calling today?
What is it, Father...
