Aurora borealis . . .?

the icy sky at night?

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 a was a trapper



I would give 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 of Hollywood



And the good things there for hire



And the Astrodome



and the first tepee



Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me



Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me



Pocahontas.
