lyrics

Landed a job in the winter as a greenhouse clerk
In a steel city this hard up it was good to find work
Since '82 this town's been returning to the earth
It's been forgotten by everyone except those like it in the world

We've got ivy on the inside we gotta hack back
Coming up from the dripping, dripping, dripping
of the water lines into the cracks
Chinook winds turn the shade cloth into a kite
So they send me up a ladder with a coffee, a drill, and a fear of heights
I spend the day with a bird's eye view of the grave
and the thought of flying

Could radiating out from this bubble
Be the strength to ungrip this town from the bottle

Down in Arizona they're expanding volcanic rocks
To the north they are draining the Canadian bogs
They mix them both together and they stick them on a truck
For coleus cuttings and geranium pots
