If I don't know what I'm doin' And all my big ideas fail Like building a dam against the water so the river dies The veins, Earth's blood And if I don't know what I'm sayin' And all the world's dreams come true Like finding oil and shooting poison in the ground The veins, Earth's blood And if the melodies stay pretty And the songs are not too long I'll try to find a way to get them back to you The veins, the Earth's blood The veins, Earth's blood Veins, Earth's blood Veins, Earth's blood Veins, Earth's blood
