Lyrics:
If you're thumbin' down a dog town road
With your tongue back, draggin' ass, hotter than a train track
Harlan up to Middlesboro
With your coal
been a child of yours
And you look out every day
And still see the coal seam sores
To remind you of that day
Just you look out in the rain
And although
the ozone but the black coal seam
We're left with the sour milk 'cause there's no more cream
This is our last shot to change the world
Yeah, our last
on driving the direction we started on
The farms turned to desert and coal seam wells
So we turned around and headed back for some clear air
Ended up at a zoo
I done?
Drugs for baby, family pride
Deformed for life from thalidomide
Cheaper power for the masses
Poisoned water from coal seam gases
Patient one
sheet
Flesh and bone don't last
Idle hands and the devil
Dark as a coal seam
Metropolis on steroids
The dystopian dream
An army of blue collars
Lined
Confusion
Lighting a new hope
Tuck it in and keep it
Alive
Like a coal-seam fire
Burning within
Forever aglow
Why did you go
Why did I stay
I know we'll
I can't be with you now
My love burns much the same
Like a coal seam fire underground
How long it will go on I can only say
As long as it takes
And the flavor is
Tart
And the flavor is
Tart
Nylon was hung from a peg
And the coal black seam ran down her leg
Fishermen look for their nets
And send their
a man
You don't love
No doggy insight
Davy lamp cries
Whitedamp floods the eye
Trapped at the bottom of a mine
Coal seam fire
Soaked in the lather
For a coal soaked seam
And here's where you built a fort
Up in the trees, a secret world
Where you had room to dream
Of a life that comes after, a life
Halling coal from the seams
Picking coal from the grass
The world around me still beams
Though that the colour has passed
Halt I said to the charging
alone
Yeah I'll be coming home
Yeah I'll be coming home... I'm coming home
The rolling drums shear that seam
Black coal dust cakes my gear
And for
From father to son
The blood runs thin
See faces frozen still
Against the wind
The seam is split
The coal face cracked
The lines are long
From father to son
The blood runs thin
See faces frozen still
Against the wind
The seam is split
The coal face cracked
The lines are long
chasing the dream
Running on a bed of coals, stitching the seams
Oh, the fire's burning making you hazy
Every river was a stream
If there is a reason
From father to son
The blood runs thin
Ooh, there are faces frozen stiff
Against the wind
The seam is split
The coal face cracked
The lines
get to you before the sun goes down
I can't help it.
Gotta hold a hammer to the coal face
Gotta follow that seam to the core
I gotta journey
Heave and puff when the going gets tough
and you're bursting at the seam.
We all got to do it so just get to it
and shovel that coal into steam.
shaft
Listen for the drillin' of a rescue team
Six hundred feet of coal and slag
Hope imprisoned in a three-foot seam
Hope imprisoned in a three-foot
feet of coal and slag
Hope imprisoned in a three foot seam
Hope imprisoned in a three foot seam
Eight days passes and some were rescued
Leaving
blood has stained the coal
We tunneled deep inside the nation's soul
We matter more than pounds and pence
Your economic theory makes no sense
One
blood has stained the coal
We tunneled deep inside the nation's soul
We matter more than pounds and pence
Your economic theory makes no sense
One
blood has stained the coal
We tunneled deep inside the nation's soul
We matter more than pounds and pence
Your economic theory makes no sense
