Select language to translate this lyric
I donât ever want to die
Do you know this arrow when it arches high
To meet the eagle in the sky?
The eagle flies using the river as a map
A small animal in its clasp / Alive and enjoying the ride
Is life a ride to ride / Or a story to shape and confide
Or chaos neatly denied?
Some people find the taste of Pilgrim guts to be too strong
Me I find I canât get by without them for too long
Tear at the flesh tear at the bone
Of anyone whoâll tell you the known is unknown
Life ainât confidential
Itâs not / It isnât and it ainât
Confidential
Ride my arrow
Ride my arrow
The land I love is splitting in two / Again
And again and again and again
War muddies the river
And getting out weâre dirtier than getting in
Ride my arrow
Ride this arrow
