Lyrics
Lyrics to the song "African Bones"
I've got the bones of St. Christopher in my shoulder bag
humming on a mantra under my do-rag
a silver star of david is hanging off my nose
right next to a gold crescent, shining like neon glows
chorus
You want to keep me alive, you know the desire
You want to keep me this time, I?m caught in the crossfire
Silver and Diamond in the sky tonite
Alive Alive I like it outside
The white goddess in my pantheon
dancing with Shiva on and on and on and on
while Apollo and Diana roll down my arms
a forest priest is showing me his charms
chorus
bridge
Got a big heart like and elephant
white light screaming like a steel green eye
I've got long skinny toes on the black black ground undone
tell me where I'm from tell me where I'm from
The great spirit is watching me through the trees through the trees
I'm singing a song I first heard from the aborigines
and I'm down with the Tao as I'm up with the sun
For I'm a daughter of Lucy
I'm an African, African
Chorus
