Lyrics

The mine closed And shuttered the town The kids left Went sixty miles south The cold came Drove frost to the ground The pipes burst Weather ate the brick The lips cracked And the wind it bit The wood stove Everyone had a saint The chill went Dad started to drink The winter passed But mother stayed sick Fixated Obsessed, again Fixated Obsessed, again The TV died And we watched fires The school closed Structure fire The cat leapt Too near the fire The beach kids And the bonfires The mood turned Our guts were furled The lamp dimmed Wind killed the fire The night came Drunk fell in the fire The day came Gave mother 'til five Fixated Obsessed, again Fixated Obsessed, again
