Burning Drowning

Is the world burning

Is the world drowning

Are your feet muddy

Is your head crowning

Is there sky

The morning's still

The birds sing like before

The leaves are green

I don't wanna hear it anymore

Is there anyplace on god's blue earth

To hide

I come home to my

perfect baby

In the arms of his

Perfect lady

They know why

It's no avail

The lights blot out the stars

A steady wail

Of jet engines, wheels and cars

Is there anyplace on god's blue earth

To hide

The canvas we are

All painted on

Won't hold the pigment

Our color's gonna run

And dry out in

The mercy of the sun

I'm in love

With the saviors of the earth

But you're a fool

If you think that's got any worth

Are there any tears in gods eyes

Left to cry

We are burning

We are drowning

We are burning

We are drowning

We are burning

We are drowning
