Lyrics

Serrated like a bread knife
Your logic cut right through
All the lines that were drawn between me and you

Straight as a crow flies
And in the distance it fades away
Hidden like a rose in the rose parade

Build me a dam (Build me)
When it flows like a river
Burn me the brand (Burn me)
Of an Indian Giver
Let me tell you a story
One that hasn't happened yet
It won't make sense when you're forty
But it will when you're dead

Read your maps
Longitude and latitude
See the buildings rise higher in the nude

If I said something like
You never knew before
I'd try and guide you by the hand right out my front door

Build me a dam (Build me)
When it flows like a river
Burn me the brand (Burn me)
Of an Indian Giver
Let me tell you a story
One that hasn't happened yet
It won't make sense when you're forty
But it will when you're dead

Well
I guess that's life
I'm an Indian
I'm an Indian
I'm an Indian Giver
