|
Love bird, you flew into my window |
|
Now in the sticky love nest sits a widow |
|
The tree it fell on all the people |
|
Who'd gathered there to watch it topple |
|
Now turn around, it's burning down |
|
The city we live in |
|
Should we mobilize? |
|
Take them by surprise? |
|
Let them have their way with us? |
|
Wounds be by old enemies |
|
Broke my heart to see |
|
Foundations ripped apart |
|
And investments fade away |
|
I guess we got off to a bad start |
|
No oxygen |
|
What is the outcome? |
|
Hungry humans |
|
We've got to eat some of them |
|
We'll burn those bridges |
|
When we come to them |
|
I'm not just their leader |
|
I'm also one of them |
|
The food supply has been depleted |
|
The river's ran dry just when it was needed |
|
The rats come out to take it over |
|
Singing, squeaking, "We built this city" |
|
It's hard to breathe |
|
But we couldn't leave |
|
Nowhere left to go |
|
Almost everybody died |
|
Drank the tears from those who cried |
|
We shriveled from the sodium |
|
And a map was found with an X on it |
|
So we followed it there |
|
And what did we find? |
|
An underground design |
|
As we entered in to our surprise |
|
Oxygen |
|
Rivers and playgrounds(?) |
|
The ancients just stayed down |
|
They never stopped moving |
|
We stumbled towards them |
|
But they locked all the barn doors |
|
So we had to dig deeper |
|
We had to dig deeper |
|
And the deep was dark |
|
I wanted to sleep forever |
|
Wake up later, maybe never |
|
We had to build a civilization |
|
Let the planet focus on the planet's rotation |
|
We tried, we tried |
|
We really tried |
|
But no one could do it |
|
Not really alive |
|
Never learned how to survive |
|
We were humans being useless |
|
No oxygen |
|
What is the outcome? |
|
Hungry humans |
|
We've got to eat some of them |
|
We'll burn those bridges |
|
When we come to them |
|
I'm not just their leader |
|
I'm also one of them |
|
We fade into oblivion |
|
No traces of civilized living eating the earth |
|
We're fading to oblivion |
|
No traces of civilized living eaten by earth |
