The Quiver to the Bomb - U.S. Girls

Four billion years ago

A girl was just starting to grow

Gathering pieces of this and that

Quilting herself up for a show

She could have never, ever known

We’d over-reap what she’d sown

Now she’s taking it back

She’s kicking us off her land

It’ll never be you or that girl

Accretion speaks louder than words

She’s the only constant you’ve ever known

Long before Barstow

And way, way, way, way before the Detrital Wash

The girl got bored, she needed some company

Because an empty playhouse is no place you wanna be

At first it was a ball, she made room for one and all

She was finally entertained

But all at her expense, and it opened the door to pain

The quiver to the bomb

Didn’t take long

The quiver to the bomb

Didn’t take long

The quiver to the bomb

Didn’t take long

The quiver to the bomb

Didn’t take long

The quiver to the bomb

Didn’t take long

The quiver to the bomb

Didn’t take long
