Alex Cameron - Gone South lyrics

It was the day, and then the shot came From the sky, and then it was the night But nothing in me was tired, so I did not sleep Instead I waited in a bush I sat and watched, but no one came Except a rabbit and some dogs But they did not give chase, as far as I could see They'd lost their appetites, too I spent some time making bird calls But none responded out of fear I dug myself a spider's hole, and it was hungry work And then I ate from my geo-stash I made some notes for my legacy With some mud on a rock But I was not fulfilled without an audience After a while I gave up I missed a plane flying overhead Through the sky and off into the night I knew that I could not compete with that technology So I designed a bear trap I met by chance a great tall man Who said he had a room full of orphans He had them working round the clock preserving energy He spoke about the keys to survival
