Lyrics

[00:18.39] Aurora borealis
[00:22.72] The icy sky at night
[00:27.22] Paddles cut the water
[00:31.04] In a long and hurried flight
[00:35.53] From the white man to the fields of green
[00:44.20] And the homeland we've never seen.
[01:10.40] They killed us in our tepee
[01:14.37] And they cut our women down
[01:18.80] They might have left some babies
[01:23.33] Cryin' on the ground
[01:27.31] But the firesticks and the wagons come
[01:35.82] And the night falls on the setting sun.
[02:09.95] They massacred the buffalo
[02:13.93] Kitty corner from the bank
[02:18.42] The taxis run across my feet
[02:22.35] And my eyes have turned to blanks
[02:26.49] In my little box at the top of the stairs
[02:34.69] With my Indian rug and a pipe to share.
[03:16.80] I wish I was a trapper
[03:20.63] I would give thousand pelts
[03:24.79] To sleep with Pocahontas
[03:29.02] And find out how she felt
[03:32.75] In the mornin' on the fields of green
[03:41.11] In the homeland we've never seen.
[04:05.41] And maybe Marlon Brando
[04:09.44] Will be there by the fire
[04:13.27] We'll sit and talk of Hollywood
[04:17.00] And the good things there for hire
[04:21.18] Like the Astrodome and the first tepee
[04:29.38] Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me
[04:37.00] Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me
[04:45.55] Pocahontas.
