The Caribou & The Oil Pipeline Lyrics


Mecca Normal The Caribou & The Oil Pipeline

You're in your car
You're running out of gas
You pull in to get the gas
3000 miles north of here
100,000 caribou are heading for the sea
Bears and ravens follow
This is where the US wants to build an oil pipeline
It will disrupt the caribou migration
You see it on TV -- there's nothing you can do
You can't change the world so you change the channel
But in your mind, one fact stands alone:
A 6 month supply of oil versus 20,000 years of migration
In a dream you see the caribou crossing an icy river, exhaling steam
They dream themselves up and over steep and barren hills
I didn't think I could write a hit
About the caribou and the oil pipeline, but I had to try
You're in your car
You're running out of gas
You pull in to get the gas
What if?
What if?
