Looking through a diamond back in time - I still remember we were lovers then
Before the meeting of the mines - I do remember we were lovers then
And opportunity was ripe my friend
Oh my, so fine!
The means we molded justified the ends
Oh no - where'd it go?
The Silver City Miners -
They took it all from me
The Silver City Miners -
It wasn't meant to be
The Silver City Miners -
Honey you and me couldn't find a finer enemy
Now we're bound to a life in The Silver Lake Mining Company
(Ah)
They came a-crashing through the trees - I still remember we were happy then
The monster mining company, behind a merry veil of gentlemen
"We'll get elation in the air again!"
Oh my, what lies!
"And all the money you could ever spend!"
Oh no - what a show!
The Silver City Miners -
They got down on their knees
The Silver City Miners -
We gave 'em all the keys
The Silver City Miners -
With the life we knew flickering behind us in the breeze
Now we're bound to a life in The Silver Lake Mining Company
"I want to go tonight to Silver Lake
I'll put my head upon your shoulder."
"We'll think about the way things used to be -
Forget about the mining company."
We'll put our little world behind us
(The Silver Lake Mining Company)
We'll let prosperity define us
(The Silver Lake Mining Company)
We've got a miracle to guide us
(The Silver Lake Mining Company)
And pretty soon we'll all be miners
(The Silver Lake Mining Company)
Oh, LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT
FIRST TO THE LEFT THEN WE GO TO THE RIGHT NOW!!!
