|
Aurora Borealis |
|
The icy sky at night |
|
Paddles cut the water |
|
In a long and hurried flight |
|
From the white man |
|
To the fields of green |
|
And the homeland |
|
We've never seen |
|
They killed us in our tepee |
|
And they cut our women down |
|
They might have left some babies |
|
Cryin' on the ground |
|
But the firesticks |
|
And the wagons come |
|
And the night falls |
|
On the setting sun |
|
They massacred the buffalo |
|
Kitty corner from the bank |
|
The taxis run across my feet |
|
And my eyes have turned to blanks |
|
In my little box |
|
At the top of the stairs |
|
With my Indian rug |
|
And a pipe to share |
|
I wish I was a trapper |
|
I would give a thousand pelts |
|
To sleep with Pocahontas |
|
And find out how she felt |
|
In the mornin' |
|
On the fields of green |
|
In the homeland |
|
We've never seen |
|
And maybe Marlon Brando |
|
Will be there by the fire |
|
We'll sit and talk about Hollywood |
|
And the good things there for hire |
|
Like the astrodome and the first tepee |
|
Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me |
|
Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me |
|
Pocahontas |
