Quetzalcoatl Comes Through (Yam, the King of Crops Track 2, 1994)
He came spitting fire
On a day like no other
Tried to hold you near to me
I heard him passing over
He made a banquet for the stray dogs of the air
He out our love in clear perspective
Blue, red, and green plumage
Trailing behind him now
Swaddling the sky in its aftermath
The last day coming
down
He made a banquet for the stray dogs of the air
He put our love in clear perspective
Rising, rising, rising, rising
This was on one of the older tapes, "Yam, the King of Crops" released sometime in 1994.
