  you seek a vision
  to get your hardened hearts to beat
  i cannot see in this light
  i cannot think in this heat
  fingers on glass and a singing horn
  the oldest peacock ever born
  
  on the wind come back to me
  close so i can hear it
  she is chosen she dances in the creek
  he is love he is spirit
  
  i was bitten and woke before the sun
  the past keeps coming all hitched up together
  redoubled in a crude mind
  one of their number
  we bring our best machine
  one to hang down from her waist
  we bring our best machine
  one to wash yourself clean
  
  on the wind come back to me
  close so i can hear it
  she is chosen she dances in the creek
  he is love yes he is spirit
  
  our best machine
  out best machine
  we bring our best machine
