And the warblers sing: deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!
And the sparrows sing: deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!
Through the wheels, through the wheels on the interstate
And hear no refrain

And the beetles creeps(deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!)
On the crippled trees (deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!)
And they look down to where the soil must have been, wondering

And no, youre not alone 
No, my cousins, you're not alone
You're in our talons now and we're never letting go

And the branches bend (deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!)
To the growing sea (deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!)
And they ask, and they ask it to spread their seeds
For they know they're drowning

And no, you're not alone
No, my cousins, you're not alone
You're in our talons now and we're never letting go

You're in our headlights, frozen, and no, we're not stopping
You may not believe, but even we were scared at first
It takes a lot of nerve to destroy this wondrous earth
We're only human, this at least we've learned
