Tundra lyrics
Song information
Artist: Jethro Tull Album: Under Wraps
Lyrics
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 disappearance? --- 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 last drop of brandy from the bottle Rest my feet and contemplate The mystery that's haunting This siberian space
Show-shoes they bind me down --- I'm just one more 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 arctic 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 footprints go
