1	She came from Dakota,						She came from Dakota	1
2	Though some say she hailed from the south.						Though some say she	2
3	He tried to believe,						hailed from the South.	3
4	But each time she would leave,						He tried to believe	4
5	With the venom that dripped from her mouth						But each time, she would leave	5
6	Like some angel of old, bent on saving the soul.						With                                          the venom that	6
1							dripped from her mouth.	1
2							Like some angel of old	2
3							Bent on saving the soul	3
	Drugged to the knees he would pray						Drugged to the knees he would pray
7	To some rude Russian icon,						To some rude Russian icon	7
8	That twined like a python,						That twined like a python	8
	And blinded the sun night and day.						And blinded the sun night and day.
9	And he'd say,						And he’d say:	9
10	"Please, bring me peace.						“Please, bring me peace	10
11	You say you'll stay just to leave me whole,						You say you’ll stay	11
12	All of my soul your passion play."						Just to leave me whole	12
13							All of my soul your passion play.”	13
1	Though she lies to amuse, she lies to confuse,							1
14	Passion with vision and pain.						Though she lies to amuse	14
15	He lies for possession and time,						She lies to confuse	15
16	Though there's no time to gain.						Passion with vision and pain	16
17	Squandering feeling, constantly stealing						He lies for possession and time	17
4							Though there’s no time to gain	4
5							Squandering feeling,	5
6							constantly stealing	6
	Away from the sound of her name						Away from the sound of her name
	Is like thunder and lightning						Is like thunder and lightning
18	Hiding the sound of the rain.						Hiding the sound of the rain	18
19	And she'd say,						And she’d say:	19
20	"Please, bring me peace.						“Please, bring me peace	20
21	You say you'll stay just to leave me whole,						You say you’ll stay	21
22	All of my soul your passion play."						Just to leave me whole	22
7							All of my soul your passion play.”	7
23	So he searches for truth,						So he searches for truth	23
	In the beauty that once was her name.						In the beauty that once was her name.
24	Senselessly trusting in time to remind her						Senselessly trusting in time	24
25	Blind,                           she came,						To remind her - - blind she came	25
26	Suddenly rootless, fashionably useless,						Suddenly rootless, fashionably useless.	26
	Magically fruitless and tame.						Magically fruitless and tame.
27	Like some Sunday scholar who lives off the squalor						Like some Sunday scholar	27
28	Of yesterday's knowledge and fame.						Who lives off the squalor	28
29	And he'd say,						Of yesterday’s knowledge and fame.	29
30							And he’d say:	30

32	All of my soul your passion play."						You say you’ll stay	32
33							Just to leave me whole	33
34	Well some overdose, and some wrap like a rose,						All of my soul your passion play.”	34
3	'Round the slick perfumed nose of high noon.							3
35	Burning their lips as they stoop low to kiss						Well, some overdose	35
36	Some rich man's excuse for the moon.						And some wrap, like a rose	36
37	I must have been lucky, got out with my body						‘Round the slick perfumed nose	37
38	Intact and tomorrow in tune.						Of high noon	38
39	Now it's this sense of time that wraps like a vine						Burning their lips	39
40	'Round the neck of the sun and the moon.						As they stoop low to kiss	40
41	He'd say,						Some rich man’s excuse for the moon	41
