Centralia, PA |
| Pennsylvania 61 |
| Through the very heart for some |
| Where industry has long been gone |
| Looks like any old abandoned town |
| It looks like any other place |
| Forgotten and left to waste |
| Its residents have long been chased |
| Away |
| Steam rises from the fields |
| Smoke-clouds skim the street |
| A fire burns underneath |
| The fallen city |
| This old mining community |
| Is hotter than the planet mercury |
| A statuette without a face |
| Disfigured and erased |
| Four hundred acres all unseen |
| Been burning since 1960 |
| The government gave it up |
| Paid money for all the people to move out |
| They took their pictures and precious things |
| Their families, their histories |
| Level it all let nature reclaim |
| This town |
| Smoke rises from the hills |
| Like some kind of poison spell |
| The mines are smoldering still |
| After fifty years |
| They’ll burn for a hundred more |
| Hollowing a harrowing core |
| The coal went then the soul went |
| The other way down |
| Pennsylvania 61 |
| Level it all |
| Don’t look back on |
| Pennsylvania 61 |
