Lyrics Eucalyptus - Swordplay

Eucalyptus

As a thousand grow, so another thousand must fall
I’m feeling euphoric, walking through the forest, holding my chainsaw
Gather up the family.
Pack a little picnic.
Quick, do not be shy
I don’t want you to miss this;
this eucalyptus is about to die
C’mon tiger, grab that hatchet.
Why don’t you help me out?
We’re gonna build a family that’s gonna build a greenhouse
Strip it of its branches, and hold em all proud and to the sky
We’ll cut em all up, tie em all up, and leave em all in the sun to dry
Cos when they’re dry they’ll burn
We’ll shove em in the stove and cry
«Bendice esta mesa, Señor,» even if we don’t know why
Like why you brought us here
Here in a handmade home
I can tell you had a hand in it from splinters that I’ve known
I spent a minute in a bar
Finally found a fountain
Now I’m drinking rainwater that I could have drowned in
Surrounded by mountains
Infinite amounts of stars I’m counting
Peru to the north, the Pacific on my left, and Argentina adjacent
Into the fireland, I landed the placement
Had to gets some stamps in my passport to abandon my basement
I must be hallucinating
Had a random conversation
Something about the mouth of the Amazon basin
And Google Earth could not it make it look any prettier than this
I’m hiding from the sun
With all my bottles and constructing model ships
And the paper has got something in common with my chopsticks
From the same forest far away and made from eucalyptus
