In Our Talons - Bowerbirds

And the warbler sings:

Deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet

And the sparrow sings:

Deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet

Through the wheels through the wheels on the interstate

And hear no refrain

And the beetles creep

Deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet

On the crippled trees

Deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet

And they look down to where the soil must have been wondering

And no youre not alone No my cousins you're not alone

Youre in our talons now and we're never letting go

And the branches bend

Deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet

To the growing sea

Deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet

And they ask and they ask it to spread their seeds

For they know they're drowning

And no youre not alone No my cousins youre not alone

You're in our talons now and were never letting go

You're in our headlights frozen and no were not stopping

You may not believe but even we were scared at first

It takes a lot of nerve to destroy this wondrous earth

We're only human

This at least weve learned
