lyrics

Planetary
by Jeannette Lambert

is it the poles that are drifting?
or the wobbling moon?
parched earth and fires
torrential downpours, swelling rivers and
sweeping whole towns away

the bullfrogs complain in the heat of the night

I dream of climbing small towers, barefoot, on bamboo

by the rocks along the highway
the waitress calls me baby
and dives for my fork

as the ice rattles on the table and
the sky darkens overhead
we hold the rising water back
in the dark of the night in our minds
sandbags in our thoughts
as the road curves and pulls us to the north

the bugs chase us back in away from the shore
buzzing to make a point:
can't you do any better?
won't fix what you've broken?
can't you do any better?
won't fix what you've broken?

the planets shake their heads
the spirits have all spoken

can't you do any better
won't you fix what you've broken?
the planets shake their heads
the spirits have all spoken
