Joni Mitchell - Turbulent Indigo Lyrics
You wanna make Van Goghs
Raise 'em up like sheep
Make 'em out of Eskimos
And women if you please
Make 'em nice and normal
You see him with his shotgun there?
Bloodied in the wheat?
Oh what do you know about
Living in Turbulent Indigo?
Brash fields, crude crows
In a scary sky ...
In a golden frame
Roped off
Tourists guided by ...
Talking about the ear
The madman hangs in fancy homes
They wouldn't let him near!
He'd piss in their fireplace!
He'd drag them through Turbulent Indigo
"I'm a burning hearth," he said
"People see the smoke
But no one comes to warm themselves
Sloughing off a coat
And all my little landscapes
All my yellow afternoons
Stack up around this vacancy
Like dirty cups and spoons
No mercy Sweet Jesus!
No mercy from Turbulent Indigo."

Joni Mitchell Turbulent Indigo Comments
Arrived here from her song 'Magdalene laundries' from The Chieftains' album 'Tears of Stone'. I seem to belong to a small minority of people who don't think 'Blue' is Mitchell's best album. To me, albums like this one and 'Both Sides Now' just seem that much more mature and heartfelt. Really dig this song.
bello!!
Just brilliant
