I met a young soldier

He said his name was Killer Kyle

He was shakin' all over

Like a night-frightened child

This is his story

It's a tough one for me to sing

Hard as the squawk and the flap

And the beat of black wings

"They gave me a gun" he said

"They gave me a mission

For the power and the glory -

Propaganda - piss on 'em

There's a war zone inside me

I can feel things exploding

I can't even hear the fucking music playing

For the beat of black wings"

He said "I never had nothin' -

Nothin' I could believe in

My girl killed our unborn child

Without even grievin'!

I put my hands on her belly

To feel the kid kickin' - damn!

She'd been to some clinic

Oh the beat of black wings"

"They want you - they need you

They train you to kill

To be a pin on some map

Some vicarious thrill

The old hate the young

That's the whole heartless thing

The old pick the wars

We die in 'em

To the beat of black wings"

There's a man drawing pictures

On the sidewalk with chalk

Just as fast as he draws 'em

Rain come down and wash 'em off

"Keep the drinks comin' girl

'Til I can't feel anything

I'm just a chalk mark in a rainstorm

I'm just the beat of black wings."

One of the MANY soldiers scarred forever and f***ed over by the Government for being sent to a war they weren't prepared for, without ONE iota of assistance, acknowledgement, or reparations from the damn Govt.

She kinda reminds me of Michael Jackson in a disguise here! Love Joni, true genius.

I can't imagine the challenge Joni under took in this video to not only look black, but then to gender cross . She was a handsome man! This woman goes beyond brilliant.... I love her intellectual, emotional & artistic honesty. And to push through the male dominated business, break the artistic(including musically) "rules"-always asking, "why not?" And coming out the other side with a brilliant creation.In my view, she has gotten short changed. She should have far more recognition, on so many levels, then what has been given, allotted or known of her. I fear that this may not happen till she is gone. At that point I could only hope this generation & future generations will finally be given an example of what real art/music encompasses. Cause right now it's bankrupt, and all about riches & excess.

Killer Kyle is Charlie Angel. Great, no "KILLER" Album. I have it on vinyl. I see Janet Jackson covered the song too and will track it next. TY and cheers to all.

Chalk Mark in a Rainstorm is a classic album. I heard Lakota in a dream last night and immediately got up and googled it. Thank you Joni for being one of the major adepts. x

I must agree 100% cosmicrider! Chalk Mark in s Rainstorm is an incredible album which features many musical guests such as Peter Gabriel, Don Henley, Willie Nelson, Tom Petty, Billy Idol and the incredible Manu Katche on many of the drum tracks.I may be forgetting someone with that guest list. Each and every composition on this album is majestic. A long winded way to say thank you sonicboy 19! Joni's video of this song is so very moving. She's a brilliant artist/a trailblazer in musical history.
