[Verse 1: Aimee Mann]
In the woods we lit a fire
And we watched a wary deer walk by
The trees were restless, moving underbrush
And clouds were banking in the sky

But I got a message from the hummingbird
He gave me a warning in disguise
He told me they're marching on Monsanto
But the same monolithic structures rise

[Verse 2: Ted Leo]
In the garden we sat writing
To the rush of highway noise beside
Lonesome bees ignored the sirens
While remembering their dancing guide

[Chorus: Aimee Mann and Ted Leo]
But I got a message from the hummingbird
He gave me a warning in disguise
He told me they're marching on the Capitol
With wings at their back
And fear in their eyes

[Chorus: Aimee Mann and Ted Leo]
There's sage and glove and distant waters
But there's no map home for Memory's daughters
Do the darting thoughts of gods have dreams like ours?
[Verse 3: Ted Leo]
On the tarmac rows of pirouetting jets wait gravely in their lanes
While from our windows, getting higher we see hybrids wandering the plains

[Chorus: Aimee Mann and Ted Leo]
But I got a message from the hummingbird
He gave me a warning in disguise
He told me they're barking at their shadows
While the same monolithic structures rise

I got a message from the hummingbird
