about
Inspired by "Mapping Manhattan" by Becky Cooper. Written for the Bushwick Book Club.
lyrics
The A Train is an ant trail 1000 years in the making
Underwater, safely guarding the bread crumbs and press clippings.
And the worker, worker, worker bees
They buzz and buzz up tall, tall trees
While the painter bees and the poet bees defend their rights to knotholes (and potholes)
And when all of the bread crumbs get swept under rugs
Gotham Forest got no people, just a bunch of bugs.
From the Dutch to Double Dutch to going dutch in Cobble Hill
Just a bunch of fancy lunchers with their heads all full of swill
While the ants trudge like an army to the edge of fiscal cliff
The forest has always been a matter of when
And not a matter of if.
And when all of the bread crumbs get swept under rugs
Gotham Forest got no people, just a bunch of bugs.
Hater bugs
Waiter bugs
Hipster bugs
Whisper bugs
Simple bugs
Pimple bugs
Grown-up bugs
Thrown-up bugs
Massive bugs
Passive bugs
Lady bugs
Shady bugs
Druggy bugs
Foggy bugs
Huggy bugs
Hazy bugs
Busy bugs
Lazy bugs
Undercover lover bugs
And when all of the bread crumbs get swept under rugs
Gotham Forest got no people, just a bunch of bugs.
Welcome to the frontier
There's just trees and water here
You have nothing to fear from Gotham Jungle
And when all of the bread crumbs get swept under rugs
Gotham Forest got no people, just a bunch of bugs.
Underwater, safely guarding the bread crumbs and press clippings.
And the worker, worker, worker bees
They buzz and buzz up tall, tall trees
While the painter bees and the poet bees defend their rights to knotholes (and potholes)
And when all of the bread crumbs get swept under rugs
Gotham Forest got no people, just a bunch of bugs.
From the Dutch to Double Dutch to going dutch in Cobble Hill
Just a bunch of fancy lunchers with their heads all full of swill
While the ants trudge like an army to the edge of fiscal cliff
The forest has always been a matter of when
And not a matter of if.
And when all of the bread crumbs get swept under rugs
Gotham Forest got no people, just a bunch of bugs.
