Dirt Poor Robins - Deadhorse '77 lyrics
[Dirt Poor Robins - Deadhorse '77 lyrics]
We had every reason to say It
Was implausible unbelievable impossible
But alas, we now understand: we
Were wrong for when young
Theodora stumbled upon It
Among the smoldering fuselage
In Deadhorse, Alaska
It would forever alter the course of
Her world and our world
Even though it had long slumbered
In the womb of
The deep since the dawn of mankind, to us
It is a novel despair! Undiscovered until we
Brought our drills to Prudhoe Bay once
Our machines were ignited they
Hummed with a sound
Like a purr and the drilling grew into
A growl now, whether by accident or by
Fate, they chanted this
Sleeping titan's name, and It awoke
We knew not what we did
Was implausible unbelievable impossible
But alas, we now understand: we
Were wrong for when young
Theodora stumbled upon It
Among the smoldering fuselage
In Deadhorse, Alaska
It would forever alter the course of
Her world and our world
Even though it had long slumbered
In the womb of
The deep since the dawn of mankind, to us
It is a novel despair! Undiscovered until we
Brought our drills to Prudhoe Bay once
Our machines were ignited they
Hummed with a sound
Like a purr and the drilling grew into
A growl now, whether by accident or by
Fate, they chanted this
Sleeping titan's name, and It awoke
We knew not what we did
