Nothing Painted Blue - Going to Fontana lyrics

Two dogs are barking Behind a length of cycloned fence You keep remarking How the atmosphere of malevolence Scorches the landscape and occludes the sky Where strong things wither and weak things die They die The dogs start pawing Over a half dead crow they've found Biting and clawing At each other, the bird and the very ground [?] Back on the highway you avoid my eye Where strong things wither and weak things die They die Condemn the buildings Damn them all Consign them in the name of the very same claim That took that roadside [?] You only came my way to survey the devastation But you could put an end to our trial separation If you'd take me for a drive Where strong things suffer and weak things thrive They thrive
