Songtexte
Watch the caveman burn through the sky
Lone canary screams her final song and dies
While towards her nest crawl more sprawling towns
What burns up must come down
Human danger
Lone canary nesting near a fun way whispers
Watch the caveman burn through the sky
The last canary screams her final song and dies
While towards her nest crawl more sprawling towns
What burns up must come down
Human nature
Scrambling late to curb hard consequences
Young mankind, so much potential
Time to head earth's guidance
Though our science brought us to novel heights
We must come back to mother
First she'll ground us, then she'll whisper
You were my most endangered species
