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
