"Take the native drum...and the old time sound...the blues man's rage and the haunted towns...it's the railroad lines 'long the Puget Sound...It's the visions in my dreams...
It's the men that lived, it's the men that died...it's a coal miner's black and dust filled eyes...on the day they blew up the mountainside...it's the visions in my dreams...
it's you and me, looking back to the times...making sense of the past why they made that climb...before they cover it all for the sake of a dime...it's the vision in my dreams...
So let the rattles shake...and the old men sing...the women dance and the iron ring...let the stories tell about everything...let the stories tell about everything...it's Back-Rattle-Beat..."
