Well, great. Now

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Well, great. Now

Well, great. Now that Peter Gabriel song is in my head. Props to anyone who knows it.

Now I must sing. 

 

Did you think that your feet had been bound

By what gravity brings to the ground?

Did you feel you were tricked

By the future you picked?

Well, come on down

 

All these rules don't apply

When you're high in the sky

So come on down

Come on down

 

We're coming down to the ground

There's no better place to go

We've got snow up on the mountains

We've got rivers down below

 

We're coming down to the ground

To hear the birds sing in the trees

And the land will be looked after

We'll send the seeds out on the breeze

 

Did you think you'd escaped from routine

By changing the script and the scene?

Despite all you made of it

You're always afraid of the change

 

You've got a lot on your chest

Well, you can come as my guest

So come on down

Come on down

 

We're coming down to the ground

There's no better place to go

We've got snow up on the mountains

We've got rivers down below

 

We're coming down to the ground

We'll hear the birds sing in the trees

And the land will be looked after

We'll send the seeds out on the breeze

 

Like the fish in the ocean

We felt at home in the sea

We learned to live off the good land

We learned to climb up a tree

 

Then we got up on two legs

But we wanted to fly

And when we messed up our homeland

We set sail for the sky

 

We're coming down to the ground

There's no better place to go

We've got snow upon the mountains

We got rivers down below

 

We're coming down to the ground

We'll hear the birds sing in the trees

And the land will be looked after

We'll send the seeds out on the breeze

 

We're coming down

Comin' down to earth

Like babies at birth

Comin' down to earth

Redefine your priorities

These are extraordinary qualities

 

We're coming down to the ground

There's no better place to go

We've got snow upon the mountains

We've got rivers down below

 

We're coming down to the ground

We'll hear the birds sing in the trees

And the land will be looked after

We send the seeds out in the breeze

 

We're coming down to the ground

There's no better place to go

We've got snow upon the mountains

We've got rivers down below

 

We're coming down to the ground

We'll hear the birds sing in the trees

And the land will be looked after

We'll send the seeds out on the breeze

 

Redefine your priorities

These are extraordinary qualities

To find on earth

 

Comin' down, comin' down

Comin' down, comin' down

Comin' down, comin' down

Comin' down, comin' down

 

'kay, I'm done now.
