Stories from southern explorers tell of vastly open sky
All I see is sweat and concrete, I avert my eyes
Am
They put scaffolding, warning signs and things we used to climb
G F
Fences around fences and told us to say inside

We enter city nights wide eyed
Am
Like lambs to the slaughter

And around every corner someone's son's putting hands on
F
Someone else's daughter
C
And the fisherman catch chemicals
Their boats fill up on rain
Am
We fill up on things we can't explain

And we laugh, as we trickle down the drain
As we trickle down
C

Sometimes I live to see her laugh

minutes for the plans that I have made, To flourish to
