Patti Smith - Live At Electric Lady

Ghost Dance - Recorded At Electric Lady Studios

What is it, children, that falls from the sky?
Tayi, taya, tayi, aye, aye
Manna from Heaven from the Most High
Food from the Father, tayi, taya, aye

We shall live again, we shall live again
(We shall live again)
Shake out the ghost dance (we shall live)

Give to your brother, give and take, eat
Tayi, taya, on his little feet
One foot extended, snake to the ground
One foot extended, worm turn around

We shall live again, we shall live again
(We shall live again)
Shake out the ghost dance (we shall live)

Stretch out your arms, now, dip and sway
Bird of thy birth, tayi, taya
The oer of the shoe, the ou of the soul
Dust of the word that shakes from the tail

We shall live again, we shall live again
(We shall live again)
Shake out the ghost dance (we shall live)

Here we are, Father, your holy host
Blood of thy blood, and ghost of thy ghost
We are the tears that fall from your eyes
Word of thy word, and cry of thy cry

We shall live again, we shall live again
(We shall live again)
Shake out the ghost dance (we shall live)

We shall live again, we shall live
We shall live again, we shall live

What is it, Father? (We shall live again)
That snakes through the night
What is it, Father? (We shall live)
That moves toward the light
What is it, Father? (We shall live again)
And tell me when
Father, will we live again? (We shall live)

We shall live again, we shall live
We shall live again, we shall live

Shake out the ghost
Shake out the ghost dance
Shake it out
