In Our Talons Lyrics

And the warbler sings:
deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!
And the sparrow sings:
deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!
Through the wheels, through the wheels on the interstate,
And hear no refrain.
And the beetles creep
deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!
On the crippled trees,
deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!
And they look down to where the soil must have been, wondering.
And no, youre not alone. No, my cousins, you're not alone.
Youre in our talons now, and we're never letting go.

And the branches bend
deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!
To the growing sea.
deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!
And they ask, and they ask it to spread their seeds,
For they know they're drowning.
And no, youre not alone. No, my cousins, youre not alone.
You're in our talons now, and were never letting go.
You're in our headlights, frozen, and no were not stopping.
You may not believe but even we were scared at first.
It takes a lot of nerve to destroy this wondrous earth.
We're only human,
this at least weve learned
