Lyrics Devendra Banhart

Devendra Banhart

Tonada Yanomaminista

We burned all our clothes

Blew Yopo up our nose

We're a young and lazy ol' wild boar

Yep

We followed the stork

It led us to camp

We didn't get lost but we lost a chance

1901 was the year of the bleedin' horse

And I was lonely, lonely

1902 the Devil sucked off the moon

Please hold me, please hold me

My ear to your chest,

Your back to the ground,

Please move mama

Please make a sound

That war party's lookin' for you

And lookin' for me

Damn, damn, we weren't scared

Just unprepared

So we followed the caw

'Till our eyes were locked in,

We became her and she became them

And then

I heard the voice of heaven

Sayin' don't be scared of anything

I heard the voice of the land,

The beautiful land, sing

I recognize you mother

In a little playful touch from death

As above so below

You're in control of the rest

Then the six nippled frog

Ran across the golden moss

Followin' behind us, behind us

And the W.A.C.

Was pointing Remingtons at the trees

They couldn't find us

Can't find us
