When she's on her best behavior
Don't be tempted by her favors
Never turn your back on mother earth
Towns are hurled from A to B
By hands that look so smooth to me
Never turn your back on mother earth
Grasp at straws that don't want grasping
Gaze at clouds that come down crashing
Never turn your back on mother earth
Three days and two nights away from my friends
Amen to anything that brings quick return to my friends
To my friends
I'll admit I was unfaithful
From now I'll be more faithful
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother earth

When she's on her best behavior
Don't be tempted by her favors
Never turn your back on mother earth
Towns are hurled from A to B
By hands that look so smooth to me
Never turn your back on mother earth
Grasp at straws that don't want grasping
Gaze at clouds that come down crashing
Never turn your back on mother earth
Three days and two nights away from my friends
Amen to anything that brings quick return to my friends
To my friends
I'll admit I was unfaithful
From now I'll be more faithful
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother earth

You capture Chrisjen's physicality brilliantly here, her stillnesses and her movements, from playful, to petulant to outraged. I especially love the build into and through the instrumental section. Gah! Not only an Expanse vid but an Avasarala vid! Thank you! :D

And then more and more of the lyrics started to line up. And luckily Neko Case's cover fit Avasarala's moods and motions. And really, people keep underestimating Chrisjen Avasarala to their own detriment.
