Hummingbird

[Verse 1: Aimee Mann] 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 [Verse 2: Ted Leo] In the garden we sat writing To the rush of highway noise beside Lonesome bees ignored the sirens While remembering their dancing guide [Chorus: Aimee Mann and Ted Leo] 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 [Chorus: Aimee Mann and Ted Leo] 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? [Verse 3: Ted Leo] On the tarmac rows of pirouetting jets wait gravely in their lanes While from our windows, getting higher we see hybrids wandering the plains [Chorus: Aimee Mann and Ted Leo] But 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
