Deuteronomy 2:10 |
| The sun above me and a concrete floor below |
| Scratch at the chain links, maybe bare my teeth for show |
| Fed twice a day, I don’t go hungry anymore |
| Feel in my bones just what the future has in store |
| I pace in circles |
| So the camera will see |
| Look hard at my stripes |
| There’ll be no more after me |
| Laze by the shoreline while the sailors disembark |
| Scratch out a place to sit and rest down in the dark |
| Smell something burning downwind just a little ways |
| They set up camp and sing and sweat and work for days |
| I have no fear of anyone |
| I’m dumb and wild and free |
| I am a flightless bird |
| And there’ll be no more after me |
| In Costa Rica, in a burrow underground |
| Climb to the surface, blink my eyes and look around |
| I’m all alone here as I try my tiny song |
| Claim my place beneath the sky, but I won’t be here for long |
| I sang all night |
| The moon shone on me through the trees |
| No brothers left |
| And there’ll be no more after me |
