Prairie now isn`t that a pretty word
Rolls off the tongue like a setting sun
You should have heard what I heard
A shriek a syllable a sleight of handPrairie now isn`t that a lonely word
Slips through the hands like a falling star
You should have seen what I saw
A mask an artifice a skillful smearIf I could pull the nerves from my skin
If I could pull the nerves from my skin I wouldPrairie now isn`t that an evil word
Trips on its feet like a slouching beast
Surely things will change now
A start a plan a place to go
If I could pull the nerves from my skin
If I could pull the nerves from my skin I wouldPrairie now isn`t that a pretty word
Rolls off the tongue like a setting sun
You should have heard what I heard
A shriek a syllable a sleight of handSurely things will change now
Surely things will change now
Surely things will change now
Surely things will change now
