They stayed put in their houses Or moved to higher grounds There are ghosts by the reservoir But no one wants them round no more There's a spell For the dam to break They'll tell you all about the time when it came What they took away In 1922 It caused a drought It caused a flood It came to change us all for good Do I look like someone? I've heard the voices through the floor In a strange cold language They're planning out a war So tap into the mainline And tell me all the secrets Of a world you once lived in That your heart could not swallow The sky is so shallow The sky is so shallow The sky is so shallow The sky is so shallow The sky is so shallow The sky is so shallow The sky is so shallow The sky is so shallow... It's late, you've been working hard Drive down to the reservoir It caused a drought It caused a flood It came to change us all for good Despite the years they're still around Have we fallen out for good?
