When Stones Go Down
Stones hide under rocks for cover
Left to their own devices they will never move
And don't have plans this afternoon
There is something about boulders too
Breaking loose from mountain tops
Roaring down with tumbling sounds
Stones have no choice but to follow in their actions
Join in the boulders calamity of gravity
Down with trouble and nothing better to do
One slip is all it takes to start an avalanche
When they crush the home set on the cliff
Make splintered sounds, cracking wood
It is too much collective heavy force
People inside become crumpled with the structure
Massive weight makes changes
Occupants of the house don't care for boulders
And stones don't think of murder
They hide under boulders normally
Occasionally rocks become emotional
Boulders roll over with indifference
When stones go down the mountain
