Batu - Jason Nolan

I don’t wanna know the time now

Or how long I’ve been standing still

In the jungle, the cats look different

Left bewildered like a chacma baboon

Arent you an animal

Move like an animal

In the estuary where a convoluted stream flows

Will there be shells or a shiver of shark

As I’m treading in the deep blue

Arent you an animal

Move like an animal

As the crow flies, I’m far away

In a ghost town, tucked away

Up in a tortoiseshell, or the Batu Caves

Shy away like a mouse in a lions cage

To the birds of prey

The rocky trail left me tarred left me feathered

And the scent that was left behind has weathered

Do you smell blood, do you smell blood, do you smell blood?

Kept hidden in the lion’s tale kept ducking in the same savannah

And static as the ocean paled to a hopeless heart, an ode to Gaia

Kept hidden in the lion’s tale kept ducking from an old epiphany

And static as the ocean paled to a hopeless heart, an ode to Gaia

Kept hidden in the lion’s tale kept ducking in the same savannah

And static as the ocean paled to a hopeless heart, an ode to Gaia

Kept hidden in the lion’s tale kept ducking from an old epiphany

And static as the ocean paled to a hopeless heart, an ode to Gaia

Kept hidden in the lion’s tale kept ducking in the same savannah

And static as the ocean paled to a hopeless heart, an ode to Gaia

Kept hidden in the lion’s tale kept ducking from an old epiphany

And static as the ocean paled to a hopeless heart, an ode to Gaia
