Letra 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 - L.A.'s all right
I'm sleeping in my bed again and getting in my head and then walk around the reservoir

You-uuu-uuu-uuuu, you must have been looking for me
Sending smo-oo-oo-ooke 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

You-uuu-uuu-uuuu, you must have been looking for me
Sending smo-oo-oo-ooke signals, pelicans circling
Burning 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 riding shot-gun speeding, 'cause fuck the cops

You-uuu-uuu-uuuu, you must have been looking for me
Sending smo-oo-oo-ooke 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
