India And On Down To Australia (Feat. Anohni)

June 17th, Karachi

Black eagles at five hundred feet
Hills roll down like carpets down to the water's edge
Southerly winds, a mist, a sudden sandstorm
A sudden sandstorm, a sudden sandstorm (sandstorm)

Far below are factories and jute mills
Glaring in the sun

June 18th, gray skies
Gray skies

We land at Dum Dum Airport, Kolkata
Streets are wide
White bulls are walking everywhere
Passed the many mouths of the Ganges and the Brahmaputra rivers
Of the Ganges and the Brahmaputra rivers

The hazy contours of the mountains
The waters of Port Darwin a vivid green
Boats below are fishing for pearls
Fishing for pearls
Bought a knife
Shipped the parachutes home today
Shouldn't need them anymore
No, we shouldn't need them
Not over the open ocean
Where there's no place to land
No place to land
No place to land
