lyrics

The Ticking Of The Earth

They say we’ve arrived
But we don’t know where
It’s like déjà vu and hey
What are you worth?
They say have a look
You seem a bit shook
Well
I can hear the ticking of the earth

There’s something ticking in the ground
There’s something ticking in the ground
There's something tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock ticking in the ground

Well the polar caps are melting
And the glaciers moving back.
In my daydream crystal sunbeam
In my nightmare, nature’s cracked.

And the desert is blooming gunpowder
The seas are choked with oil.
In my daydream crystal sunbeam
In my nightmare, blood and soil.

There’s something ticking in the ground
There’s something ticking in the ground
There's something tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock ticking in the ground

They say we’ve arrived
But we don’t know when
It’s a horse apiece
And pit bulls from birth.
They say have a seat
You seem a bit beat
Well
I can hear the ticking of the earth

There’s something ticking in the ground
There’s something ticking in the ground
There's something tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock ticking in the ground

VGHT's music is packed with psychedelic soundscapes and boundary exploring arrangements while still providing enough hooks and thick grooves to keep audience's heads bobbing and feet moving. ... more
