TUATHA DEA
"GREEN"
Lyrics by Danny Mullikin
Music by Tuatha Dea
Fill your lungs (while there's time) Drink your fill
Feel her heat
Grow warmer still
What ya gonna do when the well runs dry
And you bite the hand that feeds
When your running out of borrowed time
Leave it to The Man to shake the world down
And bleed her till she screams
Don't you know there's just so much to go round
Gonna need a little GREEN
Guess we'll watch it all Just melt away
All hopes and dreams Like trees and streams
Just fade to Grey
So what ya gonna leave behind
From Sea to oily Sea
Don't nobody got no alibi
Mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall
Ain't we all to blind to see
Be a cryin damn shame. Aint no one else to blame
Better save a little GREEN
So here we stand (can't we take a stand) Before the fall
And it's all for one and one for all
Or not at all
What ya gonna do when it falls down
And there's no more GREEN to need
Don't put your faith in Father Time
Cause Dear O'l Mother Nature's gotta plan
And shes dyin to be seen
All we gotta do is just sow a seed or two
And We'll reap a little GREEN
(I'm Lookin Through) GREEN Eyes
For GREEN Dreams
(We've got the) GREEN Light
To Live GREEN
Tuatha Dea, The Celtic,Tribal, Gypsy Rock Band (and family) from Gatlinburg, TN has been called pure primal energy with a Celtic,World and ROCK twist. The bands eclectic sound blends the tribal vibe of primitive drums with conventional and non conventional instruments to create a real evolutionary musical crossover that defies category and genre! Combining primal rhythms, melodic and ethereal ballads, screaming guitar riffs with an Appalachian/Celtic vibe this FAMILY born of a family drum circle delivers an authentic tribal and clannish feel that not only draws the audience into the music but into the moment and clan as well. Their rhythmic groove and interaction naturally inspires audience participation which has become a staple of their performances. From the beginning the band has embraced its Celtic heritage and meshed the traditional music of Scotland and Ireland with their own bold blend of mainstream rock, mountain drumming and Appalachian blues to produce a truly unique sound that has a universal appeal! Dubbed "The Eclectic Steam Punk Partridge Family in Kilts and Corsets" and "The Appalachian Fae", this band is REAL family!!!

Tuatha Dea is an Old Irish phrase adopted from the Celtic mythology of the Tuatha de Danaan whose literary history originates in Ireland and Great Britain. The name “Tuatha Dea” literally translates into “Children of The Gods”. The band’s Celtic influence stems directly from this historical clan which lived and ruled for a period in ancient Ireland and who were later destined to become the stuff of legend and basis of Celtic mythology. Those who dwelt beneath the burrows. The Children of The Gods.
