In Our Talons - Bowerbirds |
| [00:18.20] |
And the warbler sings: |
| [00:21.32] |
deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet! |
| [00:25.70] |
And the sparrow sings: |
| [00:28.57] |
deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet! |
| [00:32.81] |
Through the wheels, through the wheels on the interstate, |
| [00:40.79] |
And hear no refrain. |
| [00:50.23] |
|
| [01:01.24] |
And the beetles creep |
| [01:04.03] |
deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet! |
| [01:08.62] |
On the crippled trees, |
| [01:11.82] |
deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet! |
| [01:16.38] |
And they look down to where the soil must have been, wondering. |
| [01:28.67] |
|
| [01:30.47] |
And no, youre not alone. No, my cousins, you're not alone. |
| [01:41.33] |
|
| [01:42.18] |
Youre in our talons now, and we're never letting go. |
| [01:48.60] |
|
| [02:11.57] |
And the branches bend |
| [02:14.33] |
deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet! |
| [02:18.67] |
To the growing sea. |
| [02:21.86] |
deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet! |
| [02:26.10] |
And they ask, and they ask it to spread their seeds, |
| [02:34.19] |
For they know they're drowning. |
| [02:38.80] |
|
| [02:40.83] |
And no, youre not alone. No, my cousins, youre not alone. |
| [02:51.42] |
|
| [02:52.39] |
You're in our talons now, and were never letting go. |
| [02:59.27] |
|
| [03:03.53] |
You're in our headlights, frozen, and no were not stopping. |
| [03:10.21] |
|
| [03:14.84] |
You may not believe but even we were scared at first. |
| [03:25.71] |
It takes a lot of nerve to destroy this wondrous earth. |
| [03:32.19] |
|
| [03:36.52] |
We're only human, |
| [03:39.07] |
|
| [03:40.91] |
this at least weve learned |
| [03:44.67] |
|
