Heavy metals in the atmosphere
They're the devils that we've come to trust
Resonate and rumble more each year
Ashes to ashes and rust to rust
Swallowed by a mass of flesh and steel
Seeking solitude inside the crowd
In the belly of an iron worm
Slither ever further underground
We'll pay by degrees
Plastic tides recede
Mountains of debris
Last night on earth
Elevator through the atmosphere
Scaling Jacob's ladder in reverse
Leave the vultures to their rotten meal
Picking at the carcass of the earth
We'll pay by degrees
Plastic tides recede
Mountains of debris
We'll sell clicks and whines
Dots for sunken eyes
Setting Sun decides
Last night on earth
Row after row
