[Chorus]

Tire fires, power lines

Wild dogs, towering trucks

Black smoke, black cloud

I wonder what you saw

Tired eyes, flood of flies

Look around, burial ground

Dusk is here, disappear

We wonder what you saw


[Verse]

Did you see a crash of rhinos going by

Or a dazzle of zebras in their stripes

Did you race the dragons on your bike

I saw the lighter dark and the darker light

Did you see the colors in the fading rain

Did you see them burst into butterflies again

Did you see your sister standing on the waves

As you watched her roll out of sight

I saw the lighter dark and the darker light


[Chorus]

Tire fires, power lines

Wild dogs, towering trucks

Black smoke, black cloud

I wonder what you saw

Tired eyes, full of fire

Stumbling 'round

Burning ground

What you say

Come this way

I wonder what you saw


[Verse]

Did you see a crash of rhinos going by

Or a dazzle of zebras in their stripes

Did you race the dragons on your bike

I saw the lighter dark and the darker light

Did you see the colors in the fading rain

Did you see them burst into butterflies again

Did you see your sister standing on the waves

As you watched her roll out of sight

I saw the lighter dark and the darker light


[Verse]

Did you see a crash of rhinos going by

Or a dazzle of zebras in their stripes (in their stripes)

Did you race the dragons on your bike

I saw the lighter dark and the darker light

Did you see the colors in the fading rain

Did you see them burst into butterflies again

Did you see your sister standing on the waves

As you watched her roll out of sight

I saw the lighter dark and the darker light
