"Smoke Signals" lyrics
"Smoke Signals"
Well, you've got a really long name
It won't fit on any forms
You gave me all your mirrors
And they made me deformed
You're sending smoke signals
I know your secret code
We travel in the plaid van
And we give our puppet show
And we picnic in the winter
On maple syrup and snow
You're sending smoke signals
I know your secret code
Well, you made a Molotov cocktail
And you threw it on the ground
And it sent us flying
And now we're flying about
You're sending smoke signals
I know your secret code

Four dogs in the distance
Each stands for a kindness...

With boys who want to teach them a lesson
Sick of the sight of my old lover
Went under sheets and covers to get away from him
He can't see what it once meant to me...
Vetiver - "On A Nerve" Nameless as the way we started
I'd like to go
Back to time before name
Name for all we know
When the room was filled with chances
No one would take
We collided with them
Knowing chances fade
