Carapaces in the Jetstream

Drop

Turtles fly

Turtles fly

Turtles fly

Turtles fly

Verse 1

Shells cracked open under neon skies

2027 pulled the tide

Something shifted in the ozone layer

Now the reptiles glide

Flippers paddling through the jetstream

Breathing thin air like a dream

I saw one circling the antenna farm

With a laser-guided beam

Pre-Chorus

Up where the satellites hum

Down where the skylines went numb

Chorus

Les tortues volantes

Carapaces catching light

Les tortues volantes

Riding thermals through the night

Nobody planned for this

Nobody can explain

But the air is full of turtles

And we'll never be the same

Drop

Never be the same

Never be the same

Never be

Never be

Verse 2

Thunder rolling sideways now

Feathers would be obsolete

They navigate the solar flares

With a clicking kind of heat

Radar blips in swirling patterns

Migration to the moon

Every midnight they pass overhead

Telling us something soon

Pre-Chorus

Up where the satellites hum

Down where the skylines went numb

Chorus

Les tortues volantes

Carapaces catching light

Les tortues volantes

Riding thermals through the night

Nobody planned for this

Nobody can explain

But the air is full of turtles

And we'll never be the same

Drop

Carapaces catching light

Carapaces catching light

Catch me

Catch me

Bridge

Breathing thin air

Breathing thin air

Like a dream

Like a dream

Final Chorus

Les tortues volantes

Carapaces catching light

Les tortues volantes

Riding thermals through the night

Nobody planned for this

Nobody can explain

But the air is full of turtles

And we'll never be the same

Drop

Turtles fly

Turtles fly
