Bulldozing up canal walls
They're gonna tap that icecap too
When they do they're gonna make that green map blue
The weather is finally getting warm
And the weather is finally getting warm
Don't know how this whole thing started
there was a cloud and then it parted
Don't know if i'll ever go back
That's how i felt when i left that tarmac
