Blue Factory Flame

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I die Put my bones in an empty street To remind me how it used to be Don't write my name on stone Bring a Coleman lantern and a radio A Cleveland game and two fishing poles And watch with me from the shore Ghostly steel and iron ore Ships coming home [Chorus] Where I am Paralyzed by the emptiness Paralyzed by the emptiness Paralyzed by the emptiness Paralyzed by the emptiness [Verse 2] Clearly Iron Age beasts You can tell by the rust and by the chains By the oil that they bleed A crew of crows fly the skulls and bones They fly the colors of their homes I fly the cross of the blue factory flame Stitched with heavy sulfur thread They ain't proud colors but they're true Colors of my home [Chorus] Where I am Paralyzed by the emptiness Paralyzed by the emptiness Paralyzed by the emptiness Paralyzed by the emptiness [Bridge] Every mile for ten thousand miles Every year for a thousand years Every night for a thousand more I hear 'em call I hear 'em call Hear 'em call They never say to come home Never say to come home [Chorus] Where I am Paralyzed by the emptiness Paralyzed by the emptiness Paralyzed by the emptiness Paralyzed by the emptiness
