From the recording Orb
Lyrics
I was walking toward the Moon and Mars
On a suburban grid clogged with cars
Braggin wags of American flags
Mine and yours and theirs and ours
City lights: the stars are hidden while
Critical thinking’s all but been forbidden
With the flickerin blue and the brainwash glow
From bedroom windows ooze and flow
Coyotes dine on dogs and cats
Down below the sewer rats
Dance and sing ’til the break of day
We’re never gonna keep the wild away, oh
When we’re long gone they’re here to stay
Whoo, whoo, whoo,
Whoo, whoo, whoooooooo
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Well truth is truth and facts is facts
When we’re gone we don’t come back
Thinkin it’s too soon for it
Don’t mean that we’re immune to it
When this world’s wrecked
We’ll just go to Mars
Swimmin pools and movie stars
Pledge allegiance to the dream
Of make-believe and gasoline
Coyotes dine on dogs and cats
Down below the sewer rats
Dance and sing ’til the break of day
We’re never gonna keep the wild away, oh
When we’re long gone they’re here to stay
Whoo, whoo, whoo,
Whoo, whoo, whoooooooo
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
