Smoke Signals lyrics

I went with you up to

The place you grew up and

We spent a week in the cold

Just long enough to

Walden it with you

Any longer and it would've got old

Singing "Ace of Spades" when Lemmy died

But nothing's changed, LA's alright

I'm sleeping in my bed again

And getting in my head and then

Walk around the reservoir

You, you must've been looking for me

Sending smoke signals

Pelicans circling

Burning trash out on the beach

One of your eyes is always half-shut

Something happened when you were a kid

I didn't know you then

And I'll never understand why

It feels like I did

"How Soon Is Now?" in an eighties Sedan

You slept inside of it because your dad

Lived in a campground in the back of a van

You said, that song will creep you out

Until you're dead

And you must've been looking for me

Sending smoke signals

Pelicans circling

Burning trash out on the beach

I want to live at the Holiday Inn

Where somebody else makes the bed

We'll watch TV

While the lights on the street

Put all the stars to death

It's been on my mind since Bowie died

Just checking out to hide from life

And all of our problems, I'm gonna solve them

With you riding shotgun

Speeding 'cause fuck the cops

And you, you must've been looking for me

Sending smoke signals

Pelicans circling

Burning trash out on the beach

I buried a hatchet

It's coming up lavender

The future's unwritten

The past is a corridor

I'm at the exit

Looking back through the hall

While you are anonymous

I am a concrete wall
