cycle lane

the sky is choking
gotta get you in a cycle lane
avert the unnatural hurricane
of a world grown warm

the ship is sinking
gotta get you on a fresh boat
avoid the methane trenchcoat
of a sea gone sour

the time to act is now, not tomorrow
tomorrow may never come

the land is breaking
gotta get you to a new plain
rerail the runaway train
of a race in greed

the time to act is now, not tomorrow
tomorrow may never come
