The motor purrs
Spins the wheels
In her mind she teases the road as it hits her heals
The closest star
Rising from its grave
Nothing for miles
But the light it gave
She keeps her fairy tales ‘neath the brim of her hat
an’ keeps a patch in her boot if she gets a flat
They hear the highway scream, but her picture they miss
Because Dakota
Does not exist
Of coarse you might get love bugs in your teeth
When the motor revs your strattle warms the seat
Your thoughts they race trasmittion greets your speed
The highway now anticipates your needs
They’ve got their horses, And they got their guns
Black hills meet the ghost they hang over the sun
What brings you pleasure, What brings you pain
Native drums beat the sound that call you home again
Rise in the morning, june bugs are swarming
Restless and wandering, quicken the pace
Evening is falling, the motor is stalling
Breathtaking image of glorious space
Who speaks for you, who knows your name
“Well Dakota speaks for me, and you know it’s all the same
When you feel the reins around your neck
Shoot straight for the road and evade any wreck
The last and the first question, That leaves my mind
Is what r you looking for? Is it something you think you’ll find?
With no reservation you - Collect your thrills
What speaks for you - Is something that brings me chills

Heather Normandale Oakland, California
From melodic and rootsy mermaid folk to dreamy psychedelic pop, her emotive vocal parts, syncopated banjo rhythms, and afropop inspired electric guitar are met with a solid and driving rhythm section with upright bass, drums and balafon. Lyrics playfully celebrate the inner compass that seeks models in nature. ... more
