Titan - Les Savy Fav

Walk 5 feet above the mountain

The landscape remains the same

Walk 5 feet below the ground

The landscape is unchanged

I know my home’s eroding

The mountain rise again

I’ve seen the ocean rising

only the stones remain

I’ve heard the Titan stirring

I don’t know who to blame

This water tastes like wine

This water tastes like turpentine

I didn’t travel all this way

Just to leave a trail of tears behind

I didn’t travel all this way

Just to drag a tail behind

I didn’t travel all this way

Just to leave my hands and nails behind

Everybody prays that

The rain will shatter the dam

The water will turn the mortar to sand

The engineers have done All they can

But we’re damned

Little lost lamb

I’ve done all I can

The barn door has blown shut

And the brook is rising up

To move, to breath

We must cherish these

We have these things like feet

The townies saw a monster

But the monster saw a man

The coroner’s report found a flower in his hand

Before pitchforks and torches

Ferdinand made his last stand

The farmer dropped his sword

And went back to his plow

The children it had frightened

Were even more scared now

The minister and mayor told the people to be proud

And when they went to bed

They tossed and turned all night

But when the sun came up

They never saw the light

And when the worms had finished them

They knew that they were right

This mountain has a mind of its own
