Sheridan Cosy - DON'T GO IN THE WATER lyrics

Sheridan Cosy Grand Design DON'T GO IN THE WATER Cosy Sheridan: acoustic guitar & vocal John Pierce: ba** Ben Wittman: drums Rick Harris: electric guitars They closed the mine in this town; it made uranium They left the tailings in a pile where the river bends Now the Colorado curves in a poisonous smile Don't go in the water down below the pile This river feeds Phoenix; it waters LA It's in the lettuce they bought in Chicago today And the tourists will play for miles and miles In the water down below the pile Arsenic, acetone, methylene chloride Come run the rapids with the lead and the cyanide Take a big long drink of this acceptable risk You're down below the bottom line of their cost an*lysis It costs too much to clean, too much to move it It's somebody's fault, but it costs too much to prove it So we'll cover it up; hope it goes away in a while With the water down below the pile Bottle your water, move where the air is clean You might not be downwind, but we're all downstream In the grocery store in the produce aisle We're in the water down below the pile They closed the mine in this town; it made uranium They left the tailings in a pile where the river bends Now the Colorado curves in a poisonous smile Don't go in the water down below the pile For more information on the Atlas Mine's uranium tailings pile on the Colorado River, contact the Grand Canyon Trust at 520/774 7488
