The Uranium Suite

[00:07.22] Uranium
[00:10.54] Uranium
[00:14.48] That's our town, our friendly town
[00:20.44] Uranium
[00:24.38] Uranium
[00:28.14] That's our town, our highway town
[00:31.34] The sky is almost blue here
[00:33.20] Grain elevators too, here
[00:34.80] The pride and joy of sweet Saskatchewan
[00:38.25] We came here for the half-life
[00:40.04] And stayed here for our whole life
[00:41.61] To give the whole wide world plutonium
[00:44.63] Uranium
[00:48.36] Uranium
[00:52.15] That's our town, our friendly town
[00:54.95] Oh no no
[00:55.50] We will never leave this town at all
[01:03.78]
[01:11.16] (La-la-la-la-la)
[01:12.00] In my part in the story
[01:15.19] (La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
[01:16.56] I read all the children's fortunes
[01:18.38] (La-la-la-la-la)
[01:19.07] I felt their hopes, thoughts, dreams
[01:22.12] (La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
[01:23.02] Knowing they would board the doomed rollercoaster
[01:25.77] (La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
[01:26.46] And could tell them nothing (la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
[01:28.64] (La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
[01:29.36] I even suggested that they ride the Cyclone (la-la-la-la-la)
[01:34.31] On Monday, September, 14th
[01:38.56] Thеy would board the Cyclone rollercoastеr at 6:17 p.m
[01:48.18] At 6:19, the same rollercoaster's front axle would break (la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
[01:54.16] Causing it to derail at the apex of the loop-de-loop
[01:58.95] Hurtling the children to their deaths
[02:02.13] Aah!
[02:07.91]
[02:11.04] And then you're sailing through space
[02:13.60] You don't know up from down
[02:16.48] And you feel a little strange
[02:19.04] From all that spinning 'round
[02:21.89] And everything you loved
[02:24.44] And everything you dreamed
[02:27.08] And everything you feared
[02:29.71] And everything that seems so, oh, so terrifying
[02:37.76] It's far behind on the ground
[02:42.75] Like our far-from-the-city-little-itty-bitty-pretty hometown
[02:48.06] Just a teeny, tiny dot on a wee blue ball
[02:53.42] And we've all been spinning (all been spinning)
[02:59.45] Round and round and round
[03:01.53] And round and round
[03:02.92] Round and round
[03:03.84] And round and round and round
[03:06.00] And round and round
[03:08.50] Empty streets of empty shops (Uranium)
[03:10.51] Shuttered rows of mom and pops (Uranium)
[03:12.82] Bow down to the mega shopping mall
[03:16.53] The smart ones all packed up and went (Uranium)
[03:18.89] Why stay if you can't pay the rent? (Uranium)
[03:21.28] We will never leave this town at all
[03:24.97] Drink some brew, join the choir
[03:27.05] Build yourself a funeral pyre
[03:29.30] Uranium, our dead-end dive
[03:32.83] We'll never leave this town alive
[03:36.04] No, we will never
[03:38.06] Leave
[03:39.09] This
[03:39.78] Town
[03:40.60] At
[03:41.49] All
[03:44.86] Greetings, children
[03:46.34] It's time to play
[03:47.89] Earth is sky and sky is ground
[03:49.49] Did we finally leave our town?
[03:50.73]
