THIS TRIBE

THIS TRIBE

This tribe is too damn big:
there isn't any room by the fire,
So you who are most in need of the heat
Come to the front and take the best seat.

I want no leader I can safely ignore.
I want no followers to teach:
I want to embrace, I want to believe
It's enough to be an atom this Molecular Eve.

This tribe is too damn big:
there isn't any room by the fire,
So you who are most in need of the heat
Come to the front and take the best seat.

I want no lover I can quickly mistake
For a solitary reason to live.
I want to embrace,. I want to know
That you would be beside me if you didn't have to go.

This tribe is too damn big:
there isn’t any room by the fire,
So you who are most in need of the heat
Come to the front and take the best seat.

From the moment I could see her, she was all that I could see.
And I wanted but to tell her, but I could not find the words.
Medicine is what some people have instead of Faith,
And Medicine is what some people take instead of Heed.
From the moment it occurred to me, I just had to write it down,
But I could not bear to read it when the light fell on the page.
Medicine is what some people have instead of Faith,
And Medicine is what some people take instead of Heed.

You've seen me crying in a night full of stars:
Now all the stars are shining through me.
I want to embrace, I want to accept.
Say good-bye forever to the vale of regret.
I want to accept. I want to accept:
Finally a memory I don't want to forget.
I want to accept. I want to accept.
I want to accept. I want to accept.


This tribe is too damn big:
there isn’t any room by the fire,
So you who are most in need of the heat
Come to the front and take the best seat.
