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 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.
