Pay no mind to his messed up hair   Pay no mind to the clothes he wears   It's just the hours he's been keepin'   Ain't been doing too much sleeping   They dyed his hair and hid his feathers   And told him he was Latin   'Til he came chanting down the street   Like a cannibal in Manhattan      CHORUS:   Rattlebone   Rattlebone   Shake it for the war chief   All night long   Rattlebone   Rattlebone   Sweet medicine   To each his own      One sky above   One earth below   One sky above us   One earth below      CHORUS      Here's where we go off the map   Out past the power lines   Up that little side road without a sign   Hidden from the mainstream   The keepers of the ancient future   Keepers of the drum   They don't preserve it   They live it      Rattlebone   Rattlebone   Shake it for the war chief   All night long   Rattlebone   Rattlebone   Get down on your knees   And praise the dawn      CHORUS
