Lyrics:
I’d rather be a coyote
Katie Lee says
rivers deserve to be free
open mining
in waterways, historic parks
lifeblood, the lungs of the Earth
stop short
no other spaceship like her
carved wooden birds adorn her
swam in potholes and waterfalls
bathed in desert rose soft blush
stands her naked body
carved by sand, by wind, by dust
carved by rain, by rivers, by streams
flood the canyons
drown everything
ignore the rules of balance
watch destruction of the sanctuaries
wildflowers to circles to spirals from 50 AD
gathering pine seeds
Canyon Glen curving
flood the canyons
drown everything
ignore the rules of balance on Earth
watch destruction of the sanctuaries
