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 teepees

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 settin' 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 m	aybe Marlon Brando

Will be there by the fire

	Em
We'll	sit and talk of Hollywood

	D
And the	good things there for hire

And the	Astradome	and the	first teep	ee
