Found these in a box at the bus stop My name's at the bottom of 'em Nowhere to be found I really get around they say So I take these sightless creatures home Then I fear them so to tremble For I'm no mother, I Just some random defender I remember running chest high In the steppe grass At the dawn of man When we got along I remember running chest high In the steppe grass At the dawn of man When we got along We raced along the ground I chased it out of town The sun's the meanest, easiest target That I know We played a tender game Of kissing cover tag We slept astride our horses Tied fast in the manes My friend would touch my face And leave a star or two The years left constellations Of our wild language What drove the sun away I'm far too small to know I guess that's free to march Is only only for my legs What can I tell you now It's better way along the canal Draw mosquito clouds From the dens of hot tires for miles Draw mosquito clouds From the dens of hot tires for miles I remember running chest high In the steppe grass At the dawn of man I remember running chest high In the steppe grass At the dawn of man When we got along Oh, petroleum You're the top predator now Starving, lover, liar But you're uninspired too According to your anthem, you Oh, petroleum You're the top predator now And I am just desire One dirty diamond Some random defender I sold my flesh that I might die So the world will spin And my cubs won't cry I have to be the sun for them Oh, petroleum Are beautiful But so am I Hum a daddy, coming, I am looking at the sky Hum a daddy, coming, I am looking at the sky
