lyrics

The sun is setting
On your kingdom
A branch, your throne
The roots won't serve you
Anymore, you've been abandoned

Pray for rain
But it ain't comin'
A pressing need
That you can't summon
Porous Earth that won't absorb it

There's still sweetness
You can savor
Let the dirt be like a neighbor

Porous Earth! Oh!
Porous Earth! Oh!

When they come
You know they'll try to
Take your land, your swamp, your bayou
You're prostrated
Irritated

Terra ferma
Dried and wasted
Not what anyone
Anticipated
Porous Earth won't irrigate it

There's still sweetness
You can savor
Let the desert
Be like a lair

Porous Earth! Oh!
Porous Earth! Oh!
