Blight from Blight by The Antlers

Quickly, I need it!
Shipped in a day,
oceans away.
I’m willing to pay
to get the best that I can,
the best that I can get.

I’ve got to feed it!
High in demand,
short in supply.
I’m not a bad guy,
I do the best that I can,
the best that I can do.

Caterpillars hatching,
swinging on thread
with fanatical spread,
they need to be fed,
to get the most that they can,
the most that they can get.

Defoliating,
chawed up trees
with skeletal leaves,
a many-legged disease.


They do the best that they can
the best that they can do.

Sleeping and sated,
nesting on the bark,
evolving in the dark,
prepared to disembark.
