lyrics

the west has come with a thousand guns
use my bones to beat your drum
the west has come with a thousand guns
i'll use their bones to bang my drum

a ghost dance
is it a bad dream?
take my temperature, take my temperature, take my temperature no

i see smoke above the trees
set my wife's spirit free, baby no
bleed me dry at wounded knee
set my son's spirit free, baby no

a ghost dance
is it a bad dream?
take my temperature, take my temperature, take my temperature no

the frontier ain't got no pity, "red man" you sign this treaty in blood
big sky take my heart (x2)

a ghost dance
is this a bad dream?
take my temperature, take my temperature, take my temperature no

the frontier ain't got no pity, "red man" you sign this treaty in blood
big sky take my heart (x4)
