Water Tower - Surrogate |
| [00:17.47] |
When no one but the locals are around |
| [00:21.85] |
You will see them as they gather at the |
| [00:25.48] |
Center of this town to pay homage to their |
| [00:30.47] |
Monolithic patriarch who stands so tall |
| [00:34.95] |
He's seen from miles around |
| [00:43.00] |
They worship for the gifts that he bestows |
| [00:47.37] |
Like the water that they drink and use to |
| [00:51.40] |
Wash their dusty cloths and the way he |
| [00:55.21] |
Represents them to the passers by who constantly go trickling |
| [01:01.81] |
Down the road |
| [01:08.27] |
They will do as they are told |
| [01:14.76] |
The old folks know their time has past for usefulness and |
| [01:24.58] |
Things that don't last |
| [01:27.79] |
But they laugh themselves to sleep as they retire |
| [01:39.92] |
'Cause they remember when they built the frame |
| [01:46.96] |
That holds that head that bears the name |
| [01:53.37] |
But the young ones shake their heads and call them liars |
| [02:18.90] |
They know that someday he will come around |
| [02:23.28] |
And he'll realize he's far too good for their midwestern town |
| [02:29.79] |
And he'll pack his things and move to where the people are |
| [02:35.18] |
The southern coast where he'll become a star |
