Andrew Bird Follow

Look upon the field of snow and find the desert sea
Under the ice the springs will flow to release
Fecundates like a natural disaster, disaster

From the first drop of water to the rage of Niagara
Collapse upon the forest floor and down upon your knees
Anthurium Lacrimae decays underneath the canopies
Like a natural disaster, a disaster

It's the one that's been happening over and over and over again
No peace in the valleys, malarial alleys where the kittens have pleurisy

Donning our goggles, Valerian ogles to see microscopically
A colony of dermestids, undressed and digested
A gray spotted owl and a wolf with a lung disease

Collapse upon the forest floor and down upon your knees
Anthurium Lacrimae decays underneath the canopies
Like a natural disaster

It's the one that keeps happening over and over and over again
