tumble tumbleweed at breakneck speed      tumble tumbleweed at breakneck speed      well the windmills are spinning   to no avail   cause in this here county   the rain is more precious than gold   and some folk are praying   and others have sold their souls   but nature's indifferent   it's beyond god's control      tumble tumbleweed at breakneck speed      tumble tumbleweed at breakneck speed      the pills and the powders   the cord and the blood   and the doctors can't save her   now a minister has come   well, the first born's still arm   well, it's cold and blue   though we walk through the valley...of death   death is walking there too      tumble tumbleweed at breakneck speed      oh and i've made friends with the hoppers   oh and i've become one of them    we will cover the landscape   we will prey on the kin   we will darken the heavens   and we will blot out the sun   and we will build a new egypt   and we will form a new god   in our own image (repeat 9x)       in our own image the grasshopper grows
