Oretown |
| The night stank of diesel |
| And a stranger came to town |
| A cold wind blowing |
| And the rain pouring down |
| Street lights flicker |
| And the power lines moan |
| The moon beat down |
| On a river of bone |
| Someone put the lights out |
| No one make a sound |
| You won’t find a thing |
| Down in Oretown |
| Foundry spits fire and smoke |
| Air’s foul and choking |
| Sky full of sulphur |
| Mountains flat and broken |
| Black fogs and whirlwinds |
| Thunder and rain |
| Open drink madness |
| And purple mad pain |
| The circus is over |
| Exit the clowns |
| Nobody’s laughing |
| Down in Oretown |
| The ship’s in the harbour |
| Cargo’s been pawned |
| Barrooms spilling sailors |
| All shipwrecked at dawn |
| Smelling of salt and rust |
| Uniforms torn |
| Came looking for flowers |
| Only found thorns |
| Dreaming of mermaids |
| In pearly white gowns |
| tain is sleeping |
| Down in Oretown |
| There’s a madman down on mainstreet |
| Eyes all aflame |
| Laughing in the thunder |
| Of the Number 9 train |
| Selling old postcards in rusty frames |
| A thousand views of Oretown |
