Pocahontas

[Verse 1]

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

To a homeland that we've never seen

[Verse 2]

They killed us in our teepees and they cut our women down

They might have left some babies crying on the ground

When the fire sticks and the wagons come

And the night falls on the setting sun

[Verse 3]

They massacred the buffalo kitty-corner from the bank

And 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 love and a pipe to share

[Verse 4]

I wish a was a trapper, I would give thousand pelts

To sleep with Pocahontas and find out how she felt

In the morning on the fields of green

In a homeland that we've never seen

[Verse 5]

And maybe Marlon Brando will be there by the fire

We sit and talk of Hollywood and the good things there for hire

Like the Astrodome and the first teepee

Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me

And Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me

[Outro]
