Moving Plates Lyrics

The interior of a tectonic plate

Mineral, Virginia's only claim to fame

Damaged turrets, uninsured corner spires

Twenty minutes to talk to you outside

With an ordinary kind of grace

The building started to sway

Lights suggest we evacuate

Or just an excuse to come find you

Great apes wouldn't eat flamingoes flocked

Citizens stared at skylines wondering could they drop

Avoid elevators even if they operate

Have lunch outside with you and postulate

With an ordinary kind of grace

The building started to sway

Lights suggest we evacuate

Or just an excuse to come find you

There'd be cracks in our greatest monument

Three years of damage only scaffolding could fix

I clumsily throw in brick after brick

To a foundation Valdivia couldn't lift

With an ordinary kind of grace

The building started to sway

Lights suggest we evacuate

Or just an excuse to come find you
