Intro:
Went to the movie matinee - To see the blue coats try to get away
From a smoke signal -- Above the trees
A smoke signal -- Shifting in the breeze
Some folks think it s make believe -- Other folks ain t so naive
About a smoke signal -- Could see it coming
A smoke signal -- Hear the drums drumming
You don t believe what you read in the paper
You can t believe the stranger at your door
You don t believe what you hear from your neighbor
Your old neighborhood ain t even there no more
Indian maid will plant the seed - And cultivate a whole new breed
There s a smoke signal -- Over your head
A smoke signal -- You know what it said?
When they re torn out by the roots
Young brothers join in cahoots
To send a smoke signal -- Near and far
A smoke signal -- No matter where you are
You don t believe what they say on the radio
You don t believe what you see on the video
Living in the shadow of a doubt today
Still waiting for the smoke to clear away
(Robbie Jam)
Tried to get in touch with you - Tried to get my message through
By smoke signal -- Honey, do ya read me?
Smoke signal -- Call me if you need me
There you were all in white
Standing out in the broad daylight
Lookin like a smoke signal -- From heaven above
Smoke signal -- Oh, my love
You don t believe what you read in the paper
You can t believe the stranger at your door
You don t believe what you hear from your neighbor
Your old neighborhood ain t even there no more
(Outro: Robbie Jam )
