Tundra Lyrics
Jethro Tull
Tundra Songtext:
Short Arctic desert day
and someone left their snow-shoes in the tundra.
Look around every which way
but i can't see just where the footprints go.
Is it a casual disappearence?
Plucked from the middle atmosphere
like straw wind-blown.
No speck on the horizon
no simple message scrawled
upon the snow
Unearthly visitation
someone left their snow-shoes in the tundra.
Hungry buzzard flier.
circling round and round
rattling death's tambourine.
Have to run it down the cold wire
late insertion in tomorrow's lost and found.
Should I spread out searching?
But I'm a little thin upon the ground.
So I raise my lips to coax
the lst drop of brandy from the bottle.
rest my feet and contemplate
the mystery that's haunting
this Sibirian space.
Show-shoes they bind me down
I'm just one mor parasite of the surface layer.
I begin to get the feeling
I've been on this stage before
and I'm the only player.
One more Artic desert day
another set of shoes out in the tundra snow.
I make my fade to white-out
and you can't see me where my footprint go.
Short Arctic desert day
and someone left their snow-shoes in the tundra.
Look around every which way
but i can't see just where the footprints go.
Is it a casual disappearence?
Plucked from the middle atmosphere
like straw wind-blown.
No speck on the horizon
no simple message scrawled
upon the snow
Unearthly visitation
someone left their snow-shoes in the tundra.
Hungry buzzard flier.
circling round and round
rattling death's tambourine.
Have to run it down the cold wire
late insertion in tomorrow's lost and found.
Should I spread out searching?
But I'm a little thin upon the ground.
So I raise my lips to coax
the lst drop of brandy from the bottle.
rest my feet and contemplate
the mystery that's haunting
this Sibirian space.
Show-shoes they bind me down
I'm just one mor parasite of the surface layer.
I begin to get the feeling
I've been on this stage before
and I'm the only player.
One more Artic desert day
another set of shoes out in the tundra snow.
I make my fade to white-out
and you can't see me where my footprint go.
