Lyrics

Humans

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Love bird, you flew into my window

Now in the sticky love nest sits a widow

The tree it fell on all the people

Gathered there to watch it topple

Now turn around, it's burning down

The city we live in

Should we mumble lies?

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 enslave 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 of 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

Happily(?) alive

Never learned how to survive

We were humans being useless

No oxygen

What is the outcome?

Hungry humans

We've got to enslave them

We'll burn those bridges

When we come to them

I'm not just their leader

I'm also one of them

We're freed into oblivion

No traces of civilized living eating the earth

We're fading to oblivion

No traces of civilized living eaten by earth
