Sink Hole

lyrics

I was raised here
But I still don’t own dirt
These twenty-two years
Just made me sweat through my shirt

But when the fall comes it falls a little harder every day
And the barricades keep moving till the river has been paved.

You keep building it up till the earth swallows it all
And Tabor erupts, as we give into the sink hole.

You rode here on Armisen’s back
And you kicked us while we were down
Now all the folks who laid the tracks
Have moved out so they won’t drown.

and buildings just get taller and the sky is getting small
and the traffic becomes madness when the rain begins to fall.

You keep building it up till the earth swallows it all
and tabor erupts, as we give into the sink hole
You keep building it up
You keep building it up
