Land Animal

I’d rather take the subway train than take an aeroplane
I’d rather hike the rough terrain this keeps me sane
I don’t want to soar into the heavens
If I get really bored, I’ll let you know then
I’d rather drive the causeway, than take the highway
I’d rather take the long way that’s just my way
I don’t wanna look into the deep blue sea
I read in a book what waits for me
The silence of the depths reminds me
In the darkness of the depths they’ll never find me
I’m a land animal my feet are on the ground
I’m a land animal my bones will be there to be found
I don’t wanna look into the big blue sky
I saw it in a book that’s not a great way to die
Among a thousand pieces they’ll finally find my eye
When I read the news releases I’m reminded why
The silence of the depths reminds me
In the darkness of the depths they’ll never find me
I’m a land animal my feet stay on the ground
I’m a land animal my bones will be there to be found
I’m a land animal my bones will be there to be found
Land Animal
