Lyrics for Smoke Signals

Well you've got a really long name It won't fit on any forms You gave me all your mirrors and they made me deformed You're sending smoke signals I know your secret code We travel in the plaid van and we give our puppet show And we picnic in the winter on maple syrup and snow You're sending smoke signals I know your secret code Well, you made a Molotov cocktail, and you threw it on the ground, And it sent us flying, and now we're flying about You're sending smoke signals I know your secret code
