CANDU

Tether your hopes on a city full of ghosts You are all alone under Uranium City lights As you screamed through the mezzanine Wakin' up I know it's hard to fill the hole with a dream I know the vandals won't strike twice While there's bodies there in the mines I know the tailings build the roads I hope the radiation's low All these terrible decisions comin' on Are they comin' for us or not? Inside of me the poison screams Runnin' out of time to find the space and the need I know it's hard to negotiate the dream I know you're workin' in the cold Still got your father's eye in your skull After the mines they all closed You found your father in the snow All these terrible decisions we forgot Are they coming for us or not? I wanna give it time, grow up alone Called from the mountain top You said, "All that's left are tableaus" Maybe it's a matter of time Back on the edge of an open pit mine Maybe it's all workin' out Never thought I'd be the one embracin' the doubts I know it's hard to negotiate the dream Maybe I can hear you scream I know it's hard to negotiate the dream Maybe I can hear you scream
