For a thousand years
I've lay upon the Lake Victoria
I was winged and many-colored

And nobody knew my name

For a thousand years

I fell out of the sand into the Guadeloupe
And I made many songs into the air
And nobody knew my name


I fell like water
In sweet gasps of hydrogen up

Into the sea over the Bikini Islands
And I dove into the liquid concrete of sweet silver lake
The liquid concrete of down by the river

And nobody knew my name

Now I walk among them and I sing to them

And I open up my wrists
And nobody knows my name


And I translate into many hours of history
But nobody knows my name
I stood in the four winds

I stood in the four winds
I stood in the four winds
And nobody knows my name


So I walk again
Yeah, I walk every night

So I walk again
I look at you
Sweet every face

Do you know my name
Do you, do you know my name
Do you know my name

Do you know my name
Say it
Do you know my name

Say it
Do you know my name
Do you know my name

Do you know my
Do you know my name
Do you know my

My...
