	For all those millmen who cut their teeth
	Whose minds were made up on roof and feed
	I’ll come and I’ll leave
	Aching from a night in the city
	It might ruin me now, but I’d probably already be ruined
	For skin burned black with coal and grease
	That stuck to their lungs whenever they’d breathe
	I’ll come and I’ll leave
	Tempted by the lights of the city
	No clowning around
	T onight we’re going out to get ruined
	And I probably woulda never have thought
	If it weren’t written on metal
	That this is very old ground that you’re running from
	Can’t look for long, gotta be left and gone by five
	To be half-seas over by nine
	And bleeding drunk by midnight
	Forever indebted to the feats of our fathers
	But carry it on your back, it’s a sure collapse
	Laid out flat, gaspin’
	All the trouble you attract
	With cause to match
	Would bring a quick collapse
	If you always had to carry that
	If the gear wheel goes
	(There’s gonna be a flood comin’)
	When the wallower rolls
	(There’s gonna be a flood comin’)
	Next thing you know
	(There’s gonna be a flood comin’ on)
	And the water won’t spare us
	(The water won’t spare us)
	If it comes to get us
	(If it comes to get us)
	And it won’t let up ‘til all that’s dear and precious is gone
	And our hearts all screech a hault
	Whenever there’s a flood coming on
	And when that flood comes it comes as a canon
	One that lets you catch the shot in your hands
	But just to send its shocking tidal wave
	Through every bone in your body
	Dealt our hands, mine’s low on luck
	If you’re all going out you can sign me up
	Seems the only time that I can collect my thoughts
	Is if I’m bleeding, stinking drunk (so drink up)
	We’ll admit in the names of our fathers
	But carry it on your back, it’s a sure collapse
	Laid out flat, gaspin’
	All the trouble you attract, with cause to match
	Would bring a quick collapse
	If you always had to carry that
	And even though the doubt we all felt
	Came to prove itself
	The overflow came down
	With a force we never dreamed off
	When that rolling canon shot
	Rolls along again, our guard is up
	All the damage and all we’ve lost
	Lost it all with a canon shot

	For all those millmen who cut their teeth
	Whose minds were made up on roof and feed
	I' ll come and I' ll leave
	Aching from a night in the city
	It might ruin me now, but I' d probably already be ruined
	For skin burned black with coal and grease
	That stuck to their lungs whenever they' d breathe
	I' ll come and I' ll leave
	Tempted by the lights of the city
	No clowning around
	T onight we' re going out to get ruined
	And I probably woulda never have thought
	If it weren' t written on metal
	That this is very old ground that you' re running from
	Can' t look for long, gotta be left and gone by five
	To be halfseas over by nine
	And bleeding drunk by midnight
	Forever indebted to the feats of our fathers
	But carry it on your back, it' s a sure collapse
	Laid out flat, gaspin'
	All the trouble you attract
	With cause to match
	Would bring a quick collapse
	If you always had to carry that
	If the gear wheel goes
	There' s gonna be a flood comin'
	When the wallower rolls
	There' s gonna be a flood comin'
	Next thing you know
	There' s gonna be a flood comin' on
	And the water won' t spare us
