Urban Clearway - Dead Forest lyrics
Your rating:
[CD] Many years ago, we were feeling complete Beds of dead leaves with no shoes on our feet No billboard anywhere, no buildings of stone The trees in the forest were our only homes So beautiful and green you can hardly believe And the air all around you so refreshing to breathe We were always safe and were always sound Sleeping bare on the ground (Bridge:) We ran through the forest We ran through the woods And best of all yeah We ran in the mud But it didn't really matter cos the forest was our home And now we're all alone Then one day, when we were lying alone Chainsaws came and destroyed part of our home They sawed down the trees and dug up the soil Left a big mess for all their trouble & toil They drove off and left us all naked and bare They never looked back, they didn't even care They just left a big hole that wasn't there before We could no longer sleep on the floor (Bridge:) We ran into the forest We ran through the trees We ran so fast Until we fell on our knees But it didn't really matter cos the forest was our home And now we're all alone A few years went by, before they came back And when they did - it was a massive attack The bulldozers came knocked everything down All the trees were lying down on the ground They cemented the earth, built buildings of steel Our forest was gone, couldn't believe this was real They opened big stores and shops full of shite Their bright neon signs blazed all through the night We didn't even get chance to put up a fight (Bridge-end:) We looked for the forest We looked for the trees We looked so hard 'Til we were down on our knees But it didn't seem to matter to them at all They had their big shopping mall (Long depressing guitar solo) So we ran through the corridors We ran through the halls We battered them hard Couldn't break down those walls We smashed all of their windows 'til they came with their guns I guess they won
