Peace In The Valley Once Again
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.
When they closed the last shopping mall
Crickets sang in crumbling walls
Termites ate through the doors
And rabbits hopped along the floors
The empty shelves swarmed with bees
Cash machines sprouted weeds
Lizards crawled the parking lot
Swallows flew the empty shops
And there was peace in the valley once again
Plants grew up the mannequins
Painting them with leafy skin
Clear plastic eyes fell to the floor
And were carried off by wild boars
All the mirrors cracked in half
When wild horses galloped past
And mourning doves built their nests
On the escalator steps
And there was peace in the valley once again
And there was peace in the valley once again
