Rattlebone
Rattlebone Revelations: Unveiling the Mystic Dance of Freedom
Lyrics
Pay no mind to his messed up hair
Disregard the disheveled appearance of his hair.
Pay no mind to the clothes he wears
Disregard the style of clothing he wears.
It's just the hours he's been keepin'
His appearance is a result of the long hours he's been working.
Ain't been doing too much sleeping
He hasn't been getting much sleep.
They dyed his hair and hid his feathers
His hair color has been changed, and his true identity concealed.
And told him he was Latin
He was falsely told that he belonged to the Latin ethnicity.
'Til he came chanting down the street
He parades down the street, chanting, reminiscent of a cannibal in Manhattan.
Like a cannibal in Manhattan
Like a cannibal in Manhattan.
