The Spirits 03:32
If the bartenders cater to my friends and family There'll be wine at the seder at the children dance so free If the moon in the sky doesn't seem quite out of reach Then my home in the mountains is alive The only place for me If the spirits here, then the weight is light Sleep through the night Since the clan is getting bigger and they don't want us around We'll make a break for the border when they drive us out of town I woke up one morning and the horses gathered round And the smoke started pouring as my home was burning to the ground But, if the spirits here, then the weight is light Sleep through the night The trees at the bottom of the hill make it hard to see But my heart tells me somewhere there is still some vacancy If there was I would run into its arms and pour a drink A drink to forgive you of your harm And marvel at the scene If there spirits here, then the weight is light Sleep through the night

Moonville 04:05
She cleaned off the tables She's writing a poem No one at the bar is going home And outside a mouse is getting stoned Watching all the cars pass, all alone I'm writing a map, my whiskey's cold Plotting out a trip to find my ghost I've been to Ohio, I've been to the moon I'm going to Moonville Station soon I wanted my name back so long I could scream Out there on the train tracks, blowing steam She whistled through walkers She whistled through jumpers She whistled with blood-thirst into me I've been to Ohio, I've been to the moon I'm going to leave my body soon I've been to Ohio, I've been to the moon I'm going to Moonville Station soon

I'm flying down the road, back to the hills Where they said I was born I'm following the shore, back to the hills Where they said I was born My home, my home You, sitting in your chair, staring at the floor Wishing you weren't there Come with me to my home We'll leave in the night, nobody will know We're gonna ride on the riverside back to the hills We're gonna ride on the riverside back to the hills I'm going to a place, doesn't have a clue Doesn't leave no trace Take my hand or stay alone Cause it's getting late and we've got to go My home, my home

Oh, Chernobyl Fall out clouds and thunder sounds Close your control room Promise to be careful now Oh, Chernobyl Oh, Chernobyl Prypiat, your landing spot Watched the smoke grow Past the clouds, the scent was awful Take a handful From your rooms, don't breathe the fumes Don't cramp your muscles Keep 'em moving, keep on moving Chernobyl Oh, Chernobyl Cash machines and gasoline at your disposal Promise you'll be there for me

White Lady 03:00
My baby vanished with the sun Still shines her light in everyone Is she hiding in New York? Is she hiding in New York? How long? Some days I think she is a ghost Some days I think I know her most Is she hiding in New York? Is she hiding in New York? How long?

The summer when we met We never had a chance It was an accident It was not meant to last Build a bridge over the water for you and I We'd be fine And now you're all alone Lying around in bed A stream of chemicals Swirling around your head Who would guess what was flowing under Our little town that brought us down When she left I never forgot her It's been some time, that's alright Build a bridge over the water, for my friend, I loved her then

Centralia 03:32
In the morning I woke up Poured some chlorine in my cup and waited for the bus to come and pick me up Take me back to Centralia and you were lying there With ashes in your hair Spiraling off into the air Took you back to Centralia Hooked a diamond to your claw No one can stop us now, they'll all be talking 'bout Secrets that will run aground Your picture on my wall Was leaking alcohol Drowning in the chemical From the colossal heat That rises from the street Shining like an oil leak In the morning when I wake Empty out my stomach in the lake No one can stop us now No one can stop us now No one can stop us now No one can stop us now No one can stop us now No one can stop us now
