Hummingbird Lyrics - Both [b&n Exclusive] - The Both

In the woods we lit a fire 

And we watched a wary deer walk by 

The trees were restless, 

moving underbrush 

And clouds were banking in the sky 

But I got a message from the hummingbird 

He gave me a warning in disguise 

He told me they're marching on Monsanto 

But the same monolithic structures rise 

In the garden we sat writing 

To the rush of highway noise beside 

Lonesome bees ignored the sirens 

While remembering their dancing guide 

But I got a message from the hummingbird 

He gave me a warning in disguise 

He told me they're marching on the Capitol 

With wings at their back 

and fear in their eyes 

There's sage and glove and distant waters 

But there's no map home 

for Memory's daughters 

Do the darting thoughts of gods have 

dreams like ours? 

On the tarmac rows of pirouetting 

Jets wait gravely in their lanes 

While from our windows, getting higher 

We see hybrids wandering the plains 

And I got a message from the hummingbird 

He gave me a warning in disguise 

He told me they're barking at their shadows 

While the same monolithic structures rise 

I got a message from the hummingbird
