Watch me fly,

In black and white

Pinning wings to your display

Verse 3:
A      Em
Across this land,

There are no nature scenes

Instead you drill and pillage everything of beauty.


Verse 4:
A      Em
In you biosphere,

If you touch my chitin

Surely I will disappear.

All the fields of my past are

Shiny glass and steel,

Every Sunday the local men,

Is filled with rainbow butterflies.
