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   And send the smoke signal, near and far   A smoke signal, no matter where you are      You don't believe what they say on the radio   You can't believe what you see on the video   Living in the shadow of a doubt today   Still waiting for the smoke to clear away      Tried to get in touch with you   Tried to get my message through   By smoke signal, honey, do ya read me   A 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   A 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
