lyrics

Carve your path through the ground again, feel the earth beneath your flow
There is a danger here that only the Army Corps of Engineers knows.
On your command the mountains part, and you direct the sprawl
One day the desert sands or floodwater will reclaim it all.

The rivers have been channelized, remodeled in concrete.
The river is a city street that's mapped and charted, organized.
The freeways mock hydrology, does traffic on the 405
Mirror Pacific Ocean tides as it ebbs and flows out to the sea?

An unseen resident defines with geometry
Their unknowable personal cartography.
Five blocks east, along the wash, then turn left at the wall
One day the desert sands or floodwater will reclaim it all.

The rivers have been channelized, they've been left out to dry.
Crossing paths beneath the sky, they're mapped and charted, organized.
The freeways mock hydrology, does traffic on the 405
Mirror Pacific Ocean tides as it ebbs and flows out to the sea?

The rivers have been channelized, they're mapped and charted, organized.
Crossing paths beneath the sky, the washes are left out to dry.
The freeways mock hydrology, they ebb and flow out to the sea.
Does traffic on the 405 mirror Pacific Ocean tides?
