The Space-Indian Song

by Juan Manuel Perez


////Hey-hey hey-yah hey-hey hey-yah////

Hey look at me
Up here in the sky
Up here in the clear
I know you will cry
I’m flying high
In outer space
Singing this song
Till I’m blue in the face

//Hey-hey hey-yah hey-hey hey-yah Indians in space//

Hey-hey hey-yah hey-hey hey-yah

I’m dancing with
The heavenly stars
Walking on moons
Healing the scars
One day they’ll try
To bring me down
Good luck with that,
I’ll be flying around

//Hey-hey hey-yah hey-hey hey-yah Indians in space//

////Hey-hey hey-yah hey-hey hey-yah////
