Gone South Lyrics

by Alex Cameron

It was the day, and then the shot came
From the sky, and then it was the night
But nothing in me was tired, so I did not sleep
Instead I waited in a bush
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e125926-alex_cameron~gone_south_lyrics.html ]
I sat and watched, but no one came
Except a rabbit and some dogs
But they did not give chase, as far as I could see
They'd lost their appetites, too

I spent some time making bird calls
But none responded out of fear
I dug myself a spider's hole, and it was hungry work
And then I ate from my geo-stash

I made some notes for my legacy
With some mud on a rock
But I was not fulfilled without an audience
After a while I gave up

I missed a plane flying overhead
Through the sky and off into the night
I knew that I could not compete with that technology
So I designed a bear trap

I met by chance a great tall man
Who said he had a room full of orphans
He had them working round the clock preserving energy
He spoke about the keys to survival
