lyrics
Standing Bear rode bare back naked in the rain
He was hungry, cold and thin
Ate some peyote buttons, washed 'em down with snake juice
Sat back and watched the world spin
Standing Bear didn't want to be a bear anymore
Spread his arms like an eagle and he started to soar
Into the wild, wild blue
Into the wild blue yonder
The old man clutched at his chest and fell to his knees
As he began to cry
Howling like a banshee at he top of his lungs
He took to the sky
Standing Bear didn't want to be...
Sometimes an old man's mind might wander
As the secret of life he tries to ponder
Deep in his lullabies it's not far as the crow flies
Into the wild blue yonder
Standing Bear thought the world was flat 'cause he'd been to the edge
Feeling no pain or fear
Smearing on his war paint, he called out his maker
Then he disappeared
Standing Bear didn't want to be...
Standing Bear rode bare back naked in the rain
He was hungry, cold and thin
