lyrics

The boy perched above sent down the news with love
but we were all in that tower counting down the hour
holding our breath and puffing out our chests
growing blue in the face while we raced to sing of better times

When the sparks made their mark and the well had been found
I pulled my head out of my hands and took a look around
to see just how far I stood from the crumbling wood
and the falling leaves and the trees lied in between

And all that surrounds us are these burned down houses
and the ash that falls from the sky
And all I can offer is more black dust and sulfur
blowing off my shoulder into their eyes

So back when I was 9 and I heard my infant cousin died
I ran up to the bath and locked myself inside
and I started to cry but I did not know why
She was beautiful they say, though I never saw her face

And it's strange how we're tied to all these little strings
running like telephone wires behind the wall and down the hall
to those unseen or the man on the TV
And if we just slow down, we're bound to feel a little pull
