These Plains
Lyrics Vertical Scratchers

They came down from Stars but they didn't get that far with you
In all the grace of their presence you were never not incensed, it's true
So then they raised up the ladder
And they closed the door
And left you square as was before
The spaceman's flying his spaceship far away… from you
The spaceman's flying his spaceship far away… from you

And this is all that I'm gonna say for now
You're here, defend your fort
And as long as I'm lying awake today
Mind fields are left to sort
Like there's demand from every port

You came from the heavens but they didn't count to 10 with you
Before they pulled out their weapons
And they let you know just when to shoo
And all arraigned in the matters of a grain of salt
These plains are rotten, ain't your fault
And the spaceman's flying his spaceship far away… from you
The spaceman's flying his spaceship far away… from you
Spaceman's flying his spaceship far away… from you

And this is all that I'm gonna say for now
You're here, defend your fort
And as long as I'm lying awake today
Mind fields are left to sort
Like there's demand from every port
