Bill Mallonee - Collateral lyrics

Some bombing near the factory Where all the goods got made Some bombing near the factory And very little could be saved Like faith and hope and trust I lit the fuse for both of us And if you need somewhere to shovel that blame Tote that bucket over here to this grave And if you need somewhere to shovel that blame Tote that bucket over here to this grave This city's like an iron lung The bellows well they're compressing all wrong Electricity blew the breaker box And the generators didn't start up I remember those setting suns And the stars i used to wish upon Some explosion near the factory I saw the flash and the kingdom fell Some explosion near the factory I wanted to believe and i wanted to be well It comes down to tears of pain Goes up to heaven like returning rain And when it came it was beautiful and bright And me i staggered out into the light
