The Mine - Flat Worms

The quarry sparkled like a gem

An opportunity fresh to taste

Profit-laced sustainable energy

A sacrificial shallow well

Now there’s no flowers

In the sand

The water’s taken

Cloak and dagger at the mine

Posing for the LA Times

A company from the Sunshine State

Is turning water into champagne

A matador’s hypnotic cape

Now there’s tortoise shells

On hollow land

The water’s taken

Cloak and dagger at the mine

Now there’s no more story

Left to this land

The water’s taken

Cloak and dagger at the mine
