We were sitting together on the front porch swing You started talking about everything Like how the white man stole your land away And I felt in my heart like I was to blame Like it was my fault, and I felt this shame And then I felt your feathers tickle me ee me ee We were sitting on the porch drinking lemonade Both wearing sneakers that were Nike made When I first felt your feathers tickle me ee me ee Well I thought it must have been the wind on my shoe SongtexteTill I first caught sight of your big canoe Moving slowly through those waters towards me ee me ee And though I aint been good, I could start tomorrow Wont cause nobody no more sorrow Just please sir take your feathers off of me ee me ee Just take that green feather off my thigh That red feather off my eye Just pull your yellow feather out of me ee ee It felt like running through the woods at night I could feel your breath but their was nothing in sight I could feel my soul just running away to die Your skin was sticky but it wasnt red Your three feathers lined up straight in my head. As three feather man came slowly over me ee me ee Like curdled milk in a broken vase A dead white man without a face I could see that crooked finger point to me Put that green feather on my thigh That red feather on my eye Put that yellow feather into me ee ee It dont mean nothing that you spared my life When it aint worth nothing now since that night Cause Jesus saw your feathers touching me ee me ee Yeah God was watching from his star-lit sky Staring me down with that humongous eye And I know God wont be forgivin me ee me ee And I know I' m deserving of all this and more Dirtier than dirt more down than a floor But Three Feather Man I'm begging you for mercy mercy Just take your green feather off my thigh That red feather off my eye Just pull that yellow feather out of me ee ee Aus Songtexte Mania
