He's an indian, his name is Fallin' Leaf
Hanging on with one hand
drop below must be one hundred feet
He used to carry a torch but it burned out so quickly
He's an indian and the scar across his face
must be one half inch deep

Freak of nature, he lives on the reservation
in a convenience store
what used to be a trailer now sells things
that you might need on your way to the only bar

Customer asks him, 'What happened to your face, child?'
Indian took out a knife and put that man in his place, child
Thought nothing of it, just cleaned up the carpet
(Thought nothing of it, just cleaned up the carpet)

Territory of a big chief's son
Falln' Leaf's not much of a business one
Devil's country on sacred ground
Curse of a fallen child
What comes around goes around

His daddy was a big chief with an ultimate plan
put Fallin' Leaf first in command
something happened and the plan went awry
If not for Fallin' Leaf, his daddy would not have died!

He tried to help him but he couldn't get through
Face was bleeding, nothing else he could do
Women and children did not need to see
the death of a chief that was not necessary

Territory of a big chief's son
Falln' Leaf's not much of a business one
Devil's country on sacred ground
Curse of a fallen child
What comes around goes around

Car comes down the highway with four on the floor
loses its grip and it slips in a collision with the indian's door
the car rolls over and over and explodes
there's a man trapped inside but
Fallin' Leaf don't turn his nose

The light in the storeroom stays on for all of the night
You can see Fallin' Leaf in there with his head upright
Fallin' Leaf just stares straight at the wall
Fallin' Leaf, he stares at nothing at all!
