Scott Keltic Knot - Light Up

I remember who I was
I'm not going back where I started from
Don't look back
I'm gone
Light up if you understand
And light up if you where I'm coming from

In particular,
I put particulate matter in the air
On that matter, send smoke signals to the atmosphere
Striking the match like I'm striking for health care
Like there's someone up in the sky
I'm sending him a prayer
Gather up little sticks and kindling
Build a little pyramid
Put the flame into it
Send a silhouette
Of smoke rings spinning in a little pirouette
Appearing like elliptical DNA helixes
An orange butterfly wing emerges from the chrysalis
Use an axe from the lower Neolithic
Anachronistic from a different time period
I'm primitive
Stare at the flame like an idiot

I remember who I was
I'm not going back where I started from
Don't look back
I'm gone
Light up if you understand
And light up if you where I'm coming from

They say a gas stove is more efficient; it isn't
They're digging trenches and they're killing the fishes
Giving a whole ecosystem a death sentence; it's deliberate
And building pipelines to deliver it
They're digging deep, deep ditches
deep
Into Mesozoic ridges to get at the liquid from prehistoric lizards
It's vicious and viscous
It's dirty business
Charbroiled hamburger emissions
From the Tar sand bitumen

All they do it is drill it
And then spill it in the river
They cut our Mother Earth's liver
All they do it drill it
All they do is spill it
When you see a black snake in the village then you kill it
