Smoke Signals

I went with you up to The place you grew up in We spent a week in the cold Just long enough to Walden it with you Any longer, it would have got old Singing Ace of Spades when Lemmy died But nothing's changed LA's all right Sleeping in my bed again And getting in my head And then walk around the reservoir You, you must have 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 '80s 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 have 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 'em With you riding shot gun Speeding, 'cause fuck the cops And you, you must have 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 You are anonymous I am a concrete wall
