John Vanderslice - Kookaburra Lyrics

Lightning shot from the sky
It breathed life into every living thing

It made you, it made me
It gave us the kookaburra
It gave us frangipane tree

From dusk to dawn
And dawn to dusk
The sky will fill
With vaporized dust raining…

White on white
Like streamers of dirty confetti
White on white
The Chrysler Tower had disappeared
White on white
The Capitol dome was invisible
White on white
The hoisted flag had disappeared

It can’t be stopped
Thunder clouds are tightening
In the sky tonight
We can’t be saved
Electricity will scribble out
Your name

Lightning shot from the sky
It gives it takes away from
Every living thing

It made you, it made me
It gave us the terabyte
It gave us 117v

From dusk to dawn
And dawn to dusk
The sky will fill
With vaporized dust raining…
White on white
Like streamers of dirty confetti
White on white
The looming spire had disappeared
White on white
The budestag was invisible
White on white
The hoisted flag had disappeared

White phosphor rain
And blackout bombs
Are falling out of the sky tonight
We can’t be saved
Electricity crossing out
Your family name
