about

a cowrite with Eamon Murray from Galway. We wrote it at a songwriters week in Killarney. The character in the song exiosted in my youth in Ennis.

lyrics

he was a simple man
who loved star wars and john wayne
lived in a little house
a little down and out
that was his way
nightmared on geronimo
and the empires of doom
all alone in a little town
all he ever knew
was indians and aliens
indians and aliens
indians and aliens
comin for me and you

when the day came
with the sad tale of a wounded knee
he read about the cherokee
and the chocktaw trail of tears
he ran all the way down
to the school house by a river
burnin down the memories
of all who ever lived there
singin indians and aliens
indians and aliens
indians and aliens
are comin for me and you

at the infirmary
he grows a little older day by day
and in the evenin by the window
he sits and stares
later on he sings his songs
of warriors and war
some say now hes too far gone
so the world moves on
how the world moves on

while indians and aliens
indians and aliens
indians and aliens
indians and aliens
indians and aliens keep comin for me and you
