Broken Arrow

The lights turned on and the curtain fell down
 And when it was over it felt like a dream
 They stood at the stage door and begged for a scream
 The agents had paid for the black limousine
 That waited outside in the rain

 Did you see them in the river?
 They were there to wave to you
 Could you tell that the empty-quivered, brown-skinned Indian
 On the banks that were crowded and narrow
 Held a broken arrow?

 Eighteen years of American dream
 He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall
 He hung up his eyelids and ran down the hall
 His mother had told him a trip was a fall
 And don't mention babies at all

 The streets were lined for the wedding parade
 The queen wore the white gloves, the county of song
 The black-covered caisson her horses had drawn
 Protected her king from the sun rays of dawn
 They married for peace and were gone
