Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
They stayed put in their houses
Or moved to higher grounds
There are ghosts by the reservoir
No one wants them round any more
They’ve put a spell
For the dam to break
They’ll tell you all about the day when it came
What it took away
In 1922

It caused a drought
It caused a flood
It came to change us all for good

Do I look like someone?
I’ve heard the voices through the floor
In a strange cold language
They’re planning out a war

So tap into the mainline
And tell me all the secrets
Of a world you once lived in
That your heart could not swallow
The sky is so shallow
It’s late, you’ve been working hard
Drive down to the reservoir

It caused a drought
It caused a flood
It came to change us all for good
Despite the years they’re still around
Have we fallen out for good?
