lyrics

Imagine the heat from the concrete
Rising through the street through our feet
Killing Mother Earth with junkie's tricks
She's afraid she thinks she needs a fix

The grass is gold the house is old
In the sunset glow a story's told
Abandoned out on the corner lot
Full or boards and bricks and spaces forgot

Melting all the stars
Digging holes for all the cars
This whole place is ours
Even the plastic islands in the ocean

It multiplies, red dawn skies
A million cries in the pools of her eyes
Mother Earth who lost a child
And the sea churned
And the wind went wild

I see mountains and river fountains
I hear angels counting and I feel surrounded
By selfish, blind, and greedy fools
Made rich by blood and death-machine tools

Melting all the stars
Digging holes for all the cars
This whole place is ours
Even the plastic islands in the ocean

I don't wanna kill
I don't wanna steal
From her anymore

"Marshall moves through the world in a stream of poetry, words flowing from his pen and exhaling from his guitar as naturally as the sun shines on cotton fields."
