Landscapes pass in picture frames
A styrofoam cup full of monkey dust
And a foxtail groomed by the ravens
At dusk
One Ford van with Alabama plates
Old tail light and weary brakes
And the bed in the back is big enough
For the three of us
Uh ho---this is strange and wonderful
Blue eyes pierce the rear view mirror
Inscense mingles with gasoline fumes
And the songs in our heads
Are radio tunes
All night drives
Leather poetry
We awaken to your totem scream
You are redefining
The American dream
Uh ho---this is strange and wonderful
And it takes a strong leader
To keep things alive, she says
And the strides of a warrior
Are wide I do believe
And if I could, I would vote for you
Don Juan comin' down the mountainside
Hold the reins, hold the reins
These gusty winds bring change
Hold the reins, hold the reins
These gusty winds bring change
Hold the reins, hold the reins
These gusty winds bring change, change, change
King of lions in the valley of Gods
Water dragons with their peeling bark
We walk through this desert Oz
Who is behind the red curtain, you ask
And then the bones appear
We are beating on the earth for those who still linger here
And oh ho
This is strange
Oh ho,
This is strange
Oh ho,
This is strange---and wonderful
Hold the reins, hold the reins
These gusty winds bring change
Hold the reins, hold the reins
These gusty winds bring change
Hold the reins, hold the reins
These gusty winds bring change, change,
Strange and wonderful
Strange and wonderful
Strange and wonderful
Strange and wonderful
