Step Step Shadow sandals on the stone Gold teeth Dark eyes Laughing in the low tone Pass the cardamom Pass the wine Count the silver Watch the time Left turn Right turn Follow and you don’t speak Big drums breathing Little secrets every heartbeat Market never sleeps Moon peeling back the sky Listen for the signal Three beats Then reply ... Moon market caravan We move like a secret plan Hands in the dust Hearts in the drum Call and we come Call and we come Moon market caravan Lanterns swing and banners ran Feet in a circle Eyes on the one Call and we come Call and we come ... Bare feet pounding in crooked rows Old men betting on which way the smoke blows Children spin coins Copper in the sand Women clap time on the back of my hand Spices in the air Hot and sharp Accordion laughing like a crooked harp Bass walks low Like a cat through legs Choir in the rafters Humming old begs ... [Chorus] ... Mask on my face Painted wolf Painted king Neck full of teeth Little bones on a string You sing my name I pretend not to hear Then I turn slow Bring the whole crowd near Torches tilt Shadows dance on the wall Drums talk stories Rise and fall We stomp once Twice Then the circle breaks Every step measured by the sound we make ... [Chorus] ... Leader: Who walks the line between game and war? Crowd: We do We do Leader: Who keeps the keys to the hidden door? Crowd: We do We do Leader: When the moon hangs low like a silver drum Crowd: We come We come Leader: When you hear that beat and your blood goes numb Crowd: We come We come
