Salmon Run
Music and Lyrics by Paul Maylone
Lyrics
Salmon swimming upstream
Mating with natal precision.
Full of stress and sex,
They’re living fast and dying young.
You can spend this coin any way you want,
But only once. Only once.
Intelligent-Machine-Guide,
Do you know how it all ends up?
In some calm salvation
Or in a kind of salmon run?
Full of stress and sex,
We’re living fast and dying young.
Only once. Only once
Pray for us.
We’re never ever going backward.
We’re digital now.
Outside the rules of mother nature.
Pray for us.
All my friends and family
Swim inside pocket creation.
Through a one-way mirror,
Singing out every song we’ve ever sung.
How will we all know when upstream,
That it’s begun?
Only once only once only once.
Pray for us.
We’re never ever going backward.
We’re digital now.
Outside the rules of mother nature.
Pray for us.
