In the Plebelands

The city is about to blow! We must get out of here,
Even if there's no place else to go.
Fall apart -
The roots are down below
The seeds are in your heart.

The TV asked me
For how long I've loved you...
I guess we'll never know.

I heard some bombs would fall tonight to make our atoms glow...
I saw a flower outside in the snow.
What does this mean?
Trees don't live in fear!
Earth is a machine.

I've often wondered
For how long you've loved me,
While cities disappear.

Time runs out,
No matter how we try.
You always ask me,
"How long have we been here?"

The city is about to blow, we must get out of here
Even if there's no place else to go...
