Inferno 1944 (J. Hall, Wheeler, Spatol) James Hall - guitar, vocals / Matt Spatol - drums, bass / Mike Wheeler - guitar, backing vocals

lyrics

Inferno

Someone call the Coast Guard
Someone ring the alarm
Better call up Missus Brandeis out on her farm
We got a towering inferno
So you better beware
With fifty feet of flames shootin’ up in the air
Mamas and their babies running out of the Door
And Papa couldn’t save us ‘cause he’s fighting the war
We’re kicking through the ashes on the frozen ground
We got a four-alarm fire in this one horse town

She gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
If you didn’t come to save us, then this ain’t your concern
We got a towering inferno, with nowhere to turn

A fire on a winter day in ‘44
Like a modern-day Gomorrah on the icy shore
Twenty-seven minutes and the stars went black
And people ‘cross the water said, “We under attack!”
Soot and flaming embers raining down from the sky
Fifty thousand gallons and the flames won’t die
But we couldn’t hook the hydrant ‘til the flames went down
We got a four-alarm fire in this one horse town

It gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
It gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
If you didn’t come to save us, this ain’t your concern
When you’re dealing with the devil, there’s nothing to learn

More Than a Wrecking Ball

Early Thursday morning
Out on Sawyer wharf the ground was smokin’
And I spoke with old Chief Jensen
He could barely keep himself from chokin’
And he said, “Son, you’re a lucky one,
It’s a miracle you’re still alive.”
And he said, “It’s insane that this grain elevator
Could survive.”
And I said, “No, my man, you don’t understand
What this girl means to my town.
And it’ll take more than a wrecking ball
More than a wrecking ball
To bring her down
It’ll take more than a wrecking ball
More than a wrecking ball
To bring her down
It takes more than a wrecking ball
More than a wrecking ball
To bring her down”
