Moving Plates

The interior of a tectonic plate
Mineral, Virginia's only claim to fame
Damaged turrets, uninsured corner spires
Twenty minutes to talk to you outside

With an ordinary kind of grace
The building started to sway
Lights suggest we evacuate
Or just an excuse to come find you

Great apes wouldn't eat flamingoes flocked
Citizens stared at skylines wondering could they drop
Avoid elevators even if they operate
Have lunch outside with you and postulate

With an ordinary kind of grace
The building started to sway
Lights suggest we evacuate
Or just an excuse to come find you

There'd be cracks in our greatest monument
Three years of damage only scaffolding could fix
I clumsily throw in brick after brick
To a foundation Valdivia couldn't lift

With an ordinary kind of grace
The building started to sway
Lights suggest we evacuate
Or just an excuse to come find you
