lyrics

In 1979 a D.C. 10 went down in our town
And everybody saw the engine fall or so they said
It made our desks shake like a small earthquake
The siren sounds throughout our town
They made us put our heads down

CHORUS
And everybody’s going down
And everybody’s going down
To the sorrow town….

We sneak through the tree but can’t get close enough to see
We ride our bikes to the lights but the cops are thick as thieves
Steve found a bone but it’s raccoon plus he’s an idiot
They hauled it all away to this day people say there’s loot

CHORUS

Family members come
To stare out at the fields
Disaster freaks detectors beep
At the sadness buried deep
At the sadness buried deep

CHORUS
