From the recording Anthills Rise & Governments Fall
Lyrics
Buildings are gonna blow up
fields of flowers grow
and you won’t ever know
why you hang around so
oh but the wheel is gonna turn
and the sun is gonna burn
and you may lie.
Planes are gonna fall right out of the sky
the trusting smile of a clever child
and you may be alone out there and someone lends a hand
but the seas are gonna churn
and this page, it too will turn
but you may fall in love
Do the sight seers know
they’re walking over bones?
do the stars in the night
see it all come to light?
cause it all looks the same
if you’re far enough away
anthills rise and governments fall
but the years are gonna come
and the days won’t be long
but you may write this down
