Hawkwind - Note From A Cold Planet lyrics
Your rating:
And we live in a kind of miserable twilight Mining what we can of the food we left behind Mining for Campbell's Soup and Birds-Eye peas For Heinz baked Beans and sliced Kraft cheese Yes all the food is frozen now all the food is frozen now Last year we struck a forest two hundred feet below It was perfectly preserved. It was as though Some cryogenic process petrified it in time It seemed a shame to drag it up and burn it But we've no choice if we wish to stay alive Yes, all the trees are frozen now all the trees are frozen now There are fourteen of us left in our group today Three of these are women: warriors from Mandalay The others are from Africa, America, Japan The English cannibal is, of course, a man He claims it is the price he has to pay Yes, all our hearts are frozen now all our hearts are frozen now I know for certain there is earth below the snow The land we lost only a few short years ago When in our euphoric ferocity we loosed the fires No water could extinguish. A hundred billion funeral pyres Their fumes became our shroud. There's nowhere left to go Yes, all our hopes are frozen now all our hopes are frozen now We denied ourselves the right to walk upon the Earth To walk upon the surface of our Earth We denied our rites, the lore of ancient wisdom We can no longer walk upon the surface of our Earth Denied the facts of death and the facts of birth Yes, all our Future's frozen now all our Future's frozen now _______________________________________________________________________
