Coconuts Lyrics

Climbing for coconuts
Musical shells
We never shot the smoke signal
We watched Amelia Earhart fly on by
And refused the talking dolphins that offered us a ride

We just beat each other up
And made constant love
You couldn't tell the difference
Best friends or ?

We ambushed the doves
And made jewelry out of pearls
I was homecoming queen
Never did get over that, being a whore

I think it's 'We never shot the smoke signal'.

I thought it sounded like that too, but then again, that hardly makes sense. unless you can explain?

I think by 'smoke signal' they mean something like a distress flare. Meaning, they never shot it, because they were quite happy where they were and didn't want to be found, since they also refused the dolphins who offered them a ride.

i've always thought this song was about shuting out the world and being on your own not wanting other people.

I kind of think about a couple stranded on an island, maybe highschool sweethearts that were on their way to their honeymoon. Then they love living there in the wild, they don't care about things that we worry about in civilization, like how Amelia Earheart died or about what dolphins are capable of.

They forget everything from the past and just love the carefree life they're living.

I think it's: "Best friends or real enemies..." I'm not sure, that's just what I hear

"make constant love" and "we ate the stick doves" and "best friend or rival villains"
