[Verse 1] Morning under broken glass Bare feet on hot pavement A child chases a paper cup Past the market gate The river drags a plastic shine Through reeds and engine smoke Old men watch the hillside shake And nobody says a word [Pre-Chorus] Everything leans Everything sways Everything moves Like it might break [Chorus] Koyaanisqatsi, koyaanisqatsi We are out of balance Koyaanisqatsi, koyaanisqatsi Hold me while it lasts (Out of balance) (Out of balance) [Verse 2] Dry corn stacked by the door Radio hissing low Mothers count the days by hand While the long road grows The dogs bark once, then stop A cloud bends over town I keep hearing your name Like a stone in my mouth [Pre-Chorus] Everything leans Everything sways Everything changes Under my skin [Chorus] Koyaanisqatsi, koyaanisqatsi We are out of balance Koyaanisqatsi, koyaanisqatsi Hold me while it lasts (Out of balance) (Out of balance) [Bridge] [Half-time drop] I saw the fields go pale I saw the water thin If we don't turn around What will be left of us? [Final Chorus] Koyaanisqatsi, koyaanisqatsi We are out of balance Koyaanisqatsi, koyaanisqatsi Hold me while it lasts Koyaanisqatsi, koyaanisqatsi We are out of balance (Out of balance) (Out of balance)
