Andrew Bird

Look upon the field of snow
To find the desert sea
Under the ice the springs will flow to release
Fecundities like a natural 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
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 grey 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
