Gone South

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It was the day and then the shot came From the sky and then it was the night But nothing in me was tired, so I did not sleep Instead I waited in a bush [Verse 2] I sat and watched, but no one came Except a rabbit and some dogs But they did not give chase as far as I could see They'd lost their appetites too [Verse 3] I spent some time making bird calls But none responded out of fear I dug myself a spider's hole and it was hungry work And then I ate from my geo-stash [Verse 4] I made some notes for my legacy With some mud on a rock But I was not fulfilled without an audience After a while, I gave up [Verse 5] I missed a plane flying overhead Through the sky and off into the night I knew that I could not compete with that technology So I designed a bear trap [Verse 6] I met, by chance, a great, tall man Who said he had a room full of orphans He had them working 'round the clock preserving energy He spoke about the keys to survival
