They put Pan's horns and hooves right there on Satan
to make it look like goats are bad
for those oppressors always hatin
all that wild energy they can't dam
from this slave system they'll be leavin
come sunday morning they'll be gone
in search of freedom, ever grievin
they walkin goat, gone cimarron.

and even Moses did his time
forty years out in the bush
trying to find that old fault line
and give their towers one last push
when you're eatin manna in the desert
re-wilding will not take long
a walking stick and camel hairshirt
they walkin goat, gone cimarron

and Abel's offering was better
than Cain's domesticating ways
trying to control down to the letter
instead of release each seven days
and now all that nomad blood is screaming
trying to bind up the man who thinks he's strong
and open up the songlines dreaming
it's walkin goat, gone cimarron

Animals will move into the ruins
you will be haunted by the howl
jackals will lie down in the palace
inside the tower nests the owl
and the illusions will fade away
Creation seeds another chance
ancient Spirits come out and play
and the wild goats go there to dance

and Corbett told us bout Quixote
and errantry that makes dreams real
a quest to destroy our apathy
the canyon lands teach us to feel
and don't forget now young King David
knocking down giants with a stone
seeking God's justice, yeah he craved it
he was walkin goat, gone cimarron

and Boujloud in old Morocco
King Midas has got the ears of an ass
cuz he's listening to the Pan pipes clock now
that deep free music from the past
Lady Anarchy is our new lover
She's got that Holy, Wild song
following her, we will discover
we walkin goat, gone cimarron

when the empire's got you by the throat
one way out is start walkin goat
well its time to sound that exodus note
and one way out is start walking goat

cuz even Jesus was a wanderer
preaching the deserts holy word
they all say he was a carpenter
but i call him the good shepherd
we step in time now with the thunder
that crack and boom and steam and gong
civilization's goin under
we walkin goat, gone cimarron
