The Uranium Suite

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
 Aah!

 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?
