    Story Behind the Song
    Basically the song started out as an inside joke about my relationship with a former manager who was constantly trying to cast me in film projects as somebody's "Indian Boy". One day, while visiting a friend studio, I heard Cecil Seaskull singing and strumming an old guitar. It strumming was quite primitive, as Cecil is not the greatest guitarist. I immediately went home (Montreal) and wrote the song, later inviting Cecil to sing on a quick demo. On the strength of that single demo, I was able to secure a new recording contract and was in the studio once again within 3 months! Cecil had since moved to Los Angeles, so I had to fly her back for the new recording. We later did a video for the song and hand to fly her back to Montreal a second time. Thanks Cecil!

    Lyrics
    The green grass beneath my toes
    The yellow sun upon my back
    I caught the red-eye home
    And gathered up my cold white bones
    'Cause I'm not your Indian boy
    The first time I packed my bags
    A blue moon was hangin' in the night
    Starlight in a purple sky
    The lonliness it made me want to die
    "Cause I'm not your Indian boy
    I'm not your Indian boy
    I'm not your Indian boy
    I'm not your Indian boy
    The last time I was your fool
    You had me fooling more than myself
    Dressed up in a feathered lie
    The painted faces on the TV cry
    I'm not your Indian boy
    I'm not your Indian boy
    I'm not your Indian boy
    I'm not your Indian boy
    The green grass beneath my toes
    The yellow sun upon my back
    I caught the red-eye home
    And gathered up my cold white bones
    'Cause I'm not your Indian boy
    I'm not your Indian boy
    I'm not your Indian boy
    I'm not your Indian boy!
