Lyrics | The Peregrine
8. The Peregrine
Skyscrapers create
the concrete canyons
where the peregrines nest
with their companions
they lay their eggs
the chicks are hatched
they learn to fly
they learn to attack
it’s there again the peregrine
pow, the pigeon explosion
pow, the pigeon quick death motion
pow, the pigeon caught from above
pow, the pigeon just because
it’s there again the peregrine
with keen eyesight
they look for food
for themselves
and their growing brood
they see their prey
they drop and dive
two hundred miles a hour
just to survive
In nature they live
on canyon walls
and from their perch
they see it all
the birds and rodents
and snakes below
all moving food
the peregrine knows
