Natural Disaster Lyrics

by Andrew Bird

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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e74722-andrew_bird~natural_disaster_lyrics.html ]
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 again
