Текст песни: Centralia + перевод

I do not blame the match that lit it

Forty years on now it’s hard to even take a look around

So i’m sitting down

There’s hardly anyone remaining

Each one has taken that cracked and smoking away from town

But I’m sitting down

And I’m asking you to stay

Though the fear of disappearing grows a little every day

The hollow earth, the acrid clouds, the future burned away

The stakes that smoulder underground

I’m sitting down

I’m sitting down

Ohhhhhhh

I had a dream that I’d been walking

It looked like Northern California

The sky a brilliant blue and everything so green

I finally felt free, I looked down my hands were smoking

I threw hot stones into the ocean

I carried them for miles through the mountains and cross plains

Kept hot all the while by the fire in my veins

So post a sign for kids six feet and under

You cannot ride here

You are not tall enough to reach the ground

But i’m sitting down

And I might cough each time the smoke surrounds me

But i will not choke here I will wait a thousand years until it burns out

I’m sitting down

So don’t tell me that you care

When you set on your life on nothing 'cept pretending you’ve been spared

The horrible indiginity of thinking life was fair

You’ll disappear without a sound

I’m sitting down

I’m sitting down

Ohhhhhhh
