down in old Sedona that hot and dusty land
out among the towers and walking in the sand
I turned to my companion who guided me so far
said I’m hoping that you know just where in hell we are
he turned to me and smiled, said “now don’t you get pissed
how can you be in hell if you’re Zii-catcherist”
well no one said that Zia didn’t have a hell
it seems to be the whole of earth as far as I can tell
and what about you ‘christian’ or so they’d like to say
did you have any idea that it’d turn out this way
he turned his face away said “you don’t know yet
you must have no idea how bad it’s going to get”
it’s hard to be let down when you expect the worst
but you can do it anyway, you wouldn’t be the first
so the I said no really wher have you been
since you were first here on earth and now you’re back again
“you’ve heard of that place with the deadly black manna
I was sitting with the china men in De Lorde Manzana”
well we could get no further, I’ll tell you no lies
before us stood the biggest hog I’ve seen with my own eyes
all hairy like a llama and it weighed five hundred pounds
barring us some bloody tusks and very threatening sounds
gnawing on the carcass of some kind of wild beast
much too late to let him know we want none of his feast”
then from all around us there came a wailing cry
from at least one hundred coyotes frighteningly nearby
they had us in a circle until the pig made for a break
and I’m fairly certain that was his last mistake
then the chase began and quickly out of sight
so the buzzards glided down from their safer height
now I have to ask you while we quickly flee
why it is that you’ve come back to walk along with me
“you’ve heard there is a goddess of addiction and fame
she said she wanted… something, then she told me you name”
I looked up to the stars just starting to show
you know I’ve got a date with her somewhere in mexico
