Gone South

[Verse 1]
It was the day and then the shot came
From the sky and then it was the night
But nothing in me was tired, so I did not sleep
Instead I waited in a bush

[Verse 2]
I sat and watched, but no one came
Except a rabbit and some dogs
But they did not give chase as far as I could see
They'd lost their appetites too

[Verse 3]
I spent some time making bird calls
But none responded out of fear
I dug myself a spider's hole and it was hungry work
And then I ate from my geo-stash

[Verse 4]
I made some notes for my legacy
With some mud on a rock
But I was not fulfilled without an audience
After a while, I gave up

[Verse 5]
I missed a plane flying overhead
Through the sky and off into the night
I knew that I could not compete with that technology
So I designed a bear trap

[Verse 6]
I met, by chance, a great, tall man
Who said he had a room full of orphans
He had them working 'round the clock preserving energy
He spoke about the keys to survival
