The Uranium Suite
Letras
Uranium
Uranium
That's our town
Our friendly town
Uranium
Uranium
That's our town
Our highway town
The sky is almost blue here
Grain elevators too, here
The pride and joy of sweet Saskatchewan
We came here for the half-life
And stayed here for our whole life
To give the whole wide world plutonium
Uranium
Uranium
That's our town
Our friendly town
Oh, no, no
We will never leave this town at all
In my part of the story, I read all of the children's fortunes
I felt their hopes, thoughts, dreams, knowing they would board the doomed rollercoaster
And could tell them nothing, I even suggested that they ride the cyclone
On Monday, September 14th, they would board the cyclone rollercoaster at 6:17 pm
At 6:19, the same rollercoaster's front axle would break
Causing it to derail at the apex of the loop-de-loop
Hurtling the children to their deaths
And then you're sailing through space
You don't know up from down
And you feel a little strange
From all that spinning 'round
And everything you loved
And everything you dreamed
And everything you feared
And everything that seems so
Oh, so terrifying
It's far behind on the ground
Like our far-from-the-city-little-itty-bitty-pretty hometown
Just a teeny, tiny dot on a wee blue ball
And we've all been spinning
All been spinning
Round and round and round
And round and round
Round and round
And round and round and round
And round and round
Uranium
Empty streets of empty shops
Shuttered rows of mom and pops
Bow down to the mega shopping mall
Uranium (the smart ones all packed up and went)
Why stay if you can't pay the rent
Uranium (we will never leave this town at all)
Drink some brew, join the choir
Build yourself a funeral pyre
Uranium, our dead-end dive
