The Death of Bands of Rain

The rug was pulled from under me, and I stood on a new planet

The rug was pulled from under me, and I stood on a new planet
It was American so it was sad
Everyone was smoking joints rolled in treaty paper
Freedom had replaced Little Bee at the table
And I wept for Bands of Rain
As the long, tall giant slouched to the ground
