This town Is not moving It's deep on the treadmill There are mothers and daughters Sons without fathers This factory slow dance With roots in the river It hovers infringing While slowly it's choking The daughters have halos Play in the garden Wonder when Mama Will ever be happy And wonder about Daddy Out on the coast line Forgetting his purpose And dodging his own hand These streets They dump into sand But the walls in between They leave the bricks to connect There's a song in the river She told us she heard it A long live the voices That whisper and murmur But she won't believe them She wants control of the evil Devices that float on lone shoulders And these two sweet children They are angels among us She will keep them from drowning She'll keep them floating There's nothing to leave them There's nothing that's left Just a tell tale tattoo Is what's left to confess These streets They don't intercept But the walls in between They leave the bricks to connect Someday you'll find it And you will realize It will be the reflection in another pair of eyes You'll forget that you told us That you were never loved And the purest of angels Nod their heads From above All the masters out walking the dead In this city of coal Drinking waters of lead And the petrified forest Where your heart is frozen still You will bring it to life You will bring it You will In the petrified forest Where your heart is frozen still
