City and Colour
At the Bird’s Foot
(Dallas Green)
There is a fire burning in the ocean
With death black smoke and devil red flames
You can see it burning from the valley
Oh you can see it from the high plains
Oooh x 3
While they were drillin'
Searchin for black gold
To add more dollars
To their names
Then one evening
So suddenly and violent
There was an explosion
They can't explain
Oooh x 3
(Dallas Green with Tegan and Sara)
Now the deep water horizon
Desends down to deaths door
And at the bird's foot
They lost all hope
Cause oil is driftin
For miles and miles
Poisoning the Gulf of Mexico
But of the eleven
Men at the bottom
Who sank to an underwater grave?
And while they were sinking
And their lungs filled with oil
They must have been screaming
Screaming to be saved
Oooh (repeats until end of song)
But of the eleven
Men at the bottom
Who sank to an underwater grave?
While they were sinking
Their lungs filling with oil
They must have been screaming
Screaming to be saved
