lyrics

in the meadow there's a miracle little gnat flyin past a tortoise slow
in a blossum tree labor without fee
a pollinatin polyphonic buzz
a pollinatin polyphonic buzz

in the river jumpin for the sky ordinary days fish can't fly
opening a window in the cumulus
cloudburst buckets for the benefit of us
cloudburst buckets for the benefit of us

I live in the country I live in the country
where there are no streetlights
where there are no streetlights
everytime I think I see the sun go down
wood goes dark that's what I've found
that's when I stop chasin my shadow around

2.
movin in the mornin guided by the light
one eye on the bushes she don't want no fight
babies just behind mama just ahead
hopin that red fox won't be out of bed
hopin that red fox won't be out of bed

in the median there's some animals made it past the northbound
headin for the south
they might make it by they might have to die
they don't use no crosswalk they're too damned wild
they don't use no crosswalk they're too damned wild

I live in the country I live in the country
where there are no streetlights
where there are no streetlights
everytime I think I see the sun go down
wood goes dark that's what I've found
that's when I stop chasin my shadow around


3.
take it to the city take it to the street
take it to the tenement where the people meet
now you see the warship now you see the grave
look out for the rulers look out for their flag

there are no forevers there is only one
stretchin from Alaska to the blazing sun
and beyond the nearest star past the galaxy
it goes on like that in time I think infinity
it goes on like that in time I think infinity

I live in the country I live in the country
where there are no streetlights
where there are no streetlights
everytime I think I see the sun go down
wood goes dark that's what I've found
that's when I stop chasin my shadow around

I live in the country I live in the country I live in the country
