about

Written for the daughter of Chief Sealth (Seattle) and about the clash of the Native Americans and the new "founders" of the city of Seattle.

lyrics

I got two pieces of my heart that’s breakin
And you, you been livin on this life you’ve taken
We’re new, We’re shiny and we’re new

So go get your gun and claim what you’ve won right now
Go get your gun and claim what you’ve won right now
Go get your gun

Got our minds made up this city’s comin round
Gonna make this pile of nothing into a shiny, pretty town
There’s a hotel here for Peter and a college there for Paul
Gonna watch them buildings chase the sky, gonna make em big and tall

With a fire in our bellies and a passion in our souls
Latest fashions on the corner where the new can bury old
We are headed out west where the gold is rushin down
Pushin bones into their graveyards where they cannot make a sound

But don’t you ask bout Princess Angeline
She don’t know bout what she’s talkin, she don’t know bout what she’s seen
There’s a brand new city risin through the wilderness and the trees
So don’t be talkin, don’t be speakin, don’t be thinkin about Princess Angeline

We got no need now for moonlight see the city lights our way
Horses ain’t for ridin bareback now they’re haulin city sleighs
Traded blankets and some fabric for this land that dressed in green
Nothin left of all the natives only stubborn Angeline
