A natural disaster comes out wasn't natural after all In a small town on the east coast, well they've gathered in a firehall And who forgot to let the canary out? Will you be there when they're pulling bodies out? There are strange things done under the gun by the men who moil for coal Eastern gales of howled out tales that would make your blood run cold Lighthouse eyes watch us spies and they put a word out on me That night you and I got lost on the drive up the coast of the Northumberland Strait You'll know in a little while if this was meant to be Are you afraid of you? There wasn't a breath in the land of d**h and I hurried, horror driven Was it something I said, somewhere in her head? I just asked for the answer given
20 minutes up the road, just off the great highway I won't be around here for long, I did not come to stay You'll know in a little while if this was meant to be Are you afraid of you? And one year later it has yet to come clear No one's doing anything cuz they're scared of the way that they might appear They're ignoring all the signals they could not afford to hear Private investors in public fear My hopes exceed my expectations My hopes exceed my expectations My hopes exceed my expectations You'll know in a little while if this was meant to be Are you afraid of you? Are you afraid of me? You'll know in a little while if this was meant to be Are you afraid of you?
