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
(La-la-la-la-la)
In my part in the story
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
I read all the children's fortunes
(La-la-la-la-la)
I felt their hopes, thoughts, dreams
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Knowing they would board the doomed rollercoaster
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
And could tell them nothing (la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
I even suggested that they ride the Cyclone (la-la-la-la-la)
On Monday, September 14th
Thеy would board the Cyclone rollercoastеr at 6:17 p.m.
At 6:19, the same rollercoaster's front axle would break (la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Causing it to derail at the apex of the loop-de-loop
Hurtling the children to their deaths
(Ah!)
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
Empty streets of empty shops (Uranium)
Shuttered rows of mom and pops (Uranium)
Bow down to the mega shopping mall
The smart ones all packed up and went (Uranium)
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
We'll never leave this town alive
No, we will never
Leave this town at all
Greetings, children
It's time to play
Earth is sky and sky is ground
Did we finally leave our town?
