Word gets around, no water here.
Natives say where’s the water?
The city posted signs
”There is no water.”
And the city signed it in metal.
Car oil can’t make a creek run.

Who would drink this red stuff,
All that black stuff sticking to the banks?
Here is a creek without water,
A ditch without heart.
