Oretown
Lyricist:J Finer
The night stank of diesel A stranger came to town A cold wind blowing And the rain pouring down
Street lights flicker And the power lines moan The moon beat down On a river of bone
Someone put the lights out No one make a sound You won't find a thing Down in Oretown
Foundry spits fire and smoke Air's foul and choking Sky is full of sulphur Hills flat and broken
Black fogs and whirlwinds The thunder and rain Open drink madness Purple mad pain
The circus is over Exit the clowns Nobody's laughing Down in Oretown
The ship's in the harbor Cargo's been pawned Barrooms spilling sailors All shipwrecked at dawn
Smelling of salt and rust Uniform's torn Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Came looking for flowers Only found thorns
Dreaming of mermaids In pearly white gowns Captain is sleeping Down in Oretown
There's a man down on mainstreet Eyes all aflame Laughing in the thunder Of the Number 9 train
Selling old postcards in rusty frames A thousand views of Oretown And they all look the same
Dressed up in sandals A barbed wire crown A lot of people lost their minds Down in Oretown
Lock up the lawman Let go the thief Round up the grey men Nail them to a tree
This town was a palace This town was aglow Well, the sky burned orange And the iron river flowed
The night stank of diesel A stranger came to town The night folded over Down in Oretown
