Battered buses jammed up to the roof
Dust and diesel the prevailing themes
Farmer sleeping on the truck in front,
Feet trailing over like he`s trolling for dreams.
Smiling girl directing traffic flow
.45 strapped over cotton print dress.
Marimba-brown and graceful limbs
Give me a moment of loneliness
Dust and diesel
Rise like incense from the road --
Smoke of offering
For the revolution morning
Headlights pick out fallen sack of corn
One lone tarantula standing guard.
We pull up and stop and she ambles off --
Discretion much the better part of cars
Rodrigo the government driver jumps out --
He`s got chickens who can use the feed.
We sweep the asphalt on our hands and knees --
Fill up his trunk with dusty yellow seeds.
Dust and diesel
Rise like incense from the road --
Smoke of offering
For the revolution morning
Guitars and rifles in blue moonlight
Soldiers stretched out on sparkling grass.
Engine broke down -- they took us in --
Now we make music for the time to pass
Tired men and women raise their voice to the night --
Hope the fragile bloom they`ve grown will last.
Pride and passion and love and fear --
Burning hearts burning boats of the past.
Dust and diesel
Rise like incense from the road --
Smoke of offering
For the revolution morning
