Smoke Signals

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, it would've got old Singin' "Ace of Spades" when Lemmy died But nothing's changed, L.A.'s alright I'm sleepin' in my bed again And gettin' in my head and then Walk around the reservoir You You must've been lookin' for me Sendin' smoke signals Pelicans circling Burnin' trash out on the beach One of your eyes is always half-shut Somethin' 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'll creep you out until you're dead And you Must've been lookin' for me Sendin' smoke signals Pelicans circling Burnin' trash out on the beach I wanna 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 'em With you ridin' shotgun Speeding 'cause fuck the cops And you You must've been lookin' for me Sendin' smoke signals Pelicans circling Burnin' trash out on the beach Mm-mm I buried a hatchet, it's comin' up lavender The future's unwritten, the past is a corridor I'm at the exit, lookin' back through the hall You are anonymous, I am a concrete wall
