They stayed put in their houses
Or moved to higher grounds
There are ghosts by the reservoir
But no one wants them round no more
There's a spell
For the dam to break
They'll tell you all about the time when it came
What they 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
The sky is so shallow
The sky is so shallow
The sky is so shallow
The sky is so shallow
The sky is so shallow
The sky is so shallow
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?
