lyrics

Say, have you ever been to eastern Colorado,
Where the Sand Creek meets the Arkansas River?
Do you know the tale of old One-Eye’s daughter,
or Cheyenne Mochi, shakin’ and shiverin’?

Hold me, lover, tell me lies
Ain’t no coming back from this one

Take a cruel meditation upon a slaughter
Underneath a white flag
Mr. Yellow Wolf, here meet Tomoki Ogata
Two ghosts caught in a jet lag

Hold me, lover, tell me lies
Ain’t no coming back from this one

M-A-T-S-U-D-A baby

There are some days, it might be best not to remember
The No-Nos had it right, kid
The cavalry hung scalps from a chandelier in Denver
Mutilate the peace chiefs
Name a town after Chivington

Hold me, lover, tell me lies
Hold me, lover, tell me lies
Seems like the world cracked overnight
There’s no coming back from this one

(repeat)

Open up your eyes, open up your eyes
Pen to paper, take a trip, my love
Let me know what you find
Open up your eyes, open up your eyes
For a minute and give yourself
To a place and a time

(repeat x2)

There is a grave in eastern Colorado
There is a date marked Christmas Day,
1944 and not even a name
Just “Matsuda Baby”
M-A-T-S-U-D-A baby
