This demo formed the basis of what would eventually become “Hiawatha Doomed”, a track that would just barely miss the cut for Everything Everything’s debut album. It features some small structure and lyrical changes compared to the final version.
[Refrain]
And in the end, we bend, but easily break
[Verse 1]
When the forest circuit shorts
And the wolves surround your wired ports
Oh Jupiter, your storm is naught
UV laser beams can dance all night
Just quarantine the chief and squaws
And email every breath he draws
To the ringtone maker in New York
Bleating wilderness, so festive like
[Bridge]
Awake, Hiawatha, as the howling dies
Helicopter purring like a mammoth child
[Verse 2]
I think we'll put casinos herе
Make the resеrvation disappear
Just swap your tomahawks for tablets, dear
Wade the insect carpet, I can make friends
Now tear gas billows as you crawl
I see Kevlar through the acrid wall
It seems the rain dance worked out after all
Bloodshot eagle spasm all the way down
[Bridge]
So curb these addictions, Big-Sea-Water shine
Information sickness of a worthless kind
Pale face and Pepsi wave, the gentle hum
This is what will happen when the waters come
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's on with the contract
You lose enough, all becomes abstract
Believe me boy, I circled round the sun
Before I made the savage onomatopoeia in the bedroom
I discovered pink amongst the rushes
Carried by the stork I helped deliver you
In teepees we erected a flame
[Chorus]
And you can stop, son, find the spillage
Drop that iPod, save the village
Thrashing in a bowl of your germs
Don't need a flag, map, army, anthem
God, the people, liquor, ransom
Jesus, we knew just who we were
[Refrain]
And in the end, we bend, but easily break
[Verse 3]
We're taking to the trees and holes
And the orphan boy is coming home
The stink of smoke signals and microphones
Crown of feathers pressed against the warm glass
And yeah, you got bubonic plague, plague
But a purple heart is all the rage, rage
Nobody likes an earthquake, Craig, Craig
It's just a vision that you'll have to trust
[Bridge]
So pout, Hiawatha, like you smell the trees
We can get that Totem sponsored easily
Pale face and Pepsi wave, the gentle hum
This is what will happen when the waters come
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's on with the contract
You lose enough, all becomes abstract
Believe me boy, I circled round the sun
Before I made the savage onomatopoeia in the bedroom
I discovered pink amongst the rushes
Carried by the stork I helped deliver you
In teepees we erected a flame
[Chorus]
And we can stop this, thrashing in a bowl of your germs
Don't need an atlas, Jesus, we knew just who we were
And you can stop, son, find the spillage
Drop that iPod, save the village
Thrashing in a bowl of your germs
Don't need a flag, map, army, anthem
God, the people, liquor, ransom
Jesus, we knew just who we were
[Refrain]
And in the end we bend, but easily break
