Divest, divest, divest
You have failed in your quest
O sing divest, divest
Cast the burden from your breast

Follow not the poor oppressed
Who hang lifeless from the ropes
Of the chattels and the hopes
That they long ago possessed

You must sell off every share
You must strip your body bare
You must sing divest, divest
And rise up weightless in the air

The Greater Roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus) has zygodactylic feet, leaving X-shaped tracks with ambiguous direction. The Pueblo and Hopi used the X symbol to mislead evil spirits. Border folklore in the early twentieth century held that a roadrunner would lead a lost traveler back to his path. In Mexico the roadrunner is known as paisano, countryman.
