Drought of 2013 - Big Head Todd and the Monsters

In 2010 I took her in and said I’d love her till

The sky has lost her blue and the rivers all run still

Followed her till she came in and put her hand in mine

Then we lived in green fields but now it’s just a shame

Cities which once grew like weeds, now shipwrecks on the plain

750 days since a drop of rain

Then came November and my lover hid up rye

Drank it in the swelter as she laughed as the red sun died

She said she was gonna leave me and head out to the sea-side

Catch a cloud and ride

Never such a thing

Politicians blamed each other

The preachers swelled with pride

The wealthy killed each other and the poor gave up a smile

‘Cause 750 days without a drop of rain made everyone the same
