about

Mahalo to the whales who let us use their songs…

lyrics

ENDANGERED SPECIES Russell&Weinstock

I am an endangered species
You don’t know anyone else like me.
Part of an endangered population
Your kids may never see…

You are an endangered species,
I don’t know anyone else like you.
Part of a vanishing expression
Noone ever knew

While we may be the most dangerous species,
We just never get enough
While we may see strange changes unfolding
We cannot call their bluff…
But we won’t buy their friggin’ stuff

We are the endangered species
We don’t even know anyone else like us
Just stories passing –
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

I don’t know how to get this over but I’m still crying
Why can’t we just love each other ‘til we die?
I don’t know how to make this better but keep trying –
Yeah, love takes practice, practice, practice – no lie…
