Robert Ellis - Chemical Plant Lyrics
In a small town down on the highway to coastFactories and churches lay on dusty gravure roadsThis is where they first metSuch a long time agoYoung runners ,what the hell is?Foolish and unguarding,following blindly without fearSkippin' school and hoppin' fencesMaking love down by the pearLove like in a man's reactConstellations in the blackThe lights from the chemical plantBurn bright in the night like an old kerosene lampFrom a car parked by the oceanWhat a vision to beholdThe lights from the chemical plantShe says my heart is like an orphanAnd your words are like homeI do not deserve such kindnessKeeps me warm down to my armsWe bear some strange familiar likenessTo a man I feel I knowAs if to keep each other safeThey spent the night and then embraceAnd the lights from the chemical plantBurn bright in the night like an old kerosene lampWhen all seemed unstableI could watch how they were thereThe lights from the chemical plantAll the years pass by the'So I'm 'And whenever things got rough,the pain they shareBut no matter when death comesIt is on 'She sat next to himAnd tried hard to prepareHow can you still see them?Through the window if you lookThey are still thereOpen up your eyesJust once more ,darlingCause without I know I just can't bearThe lights from the chemical plantBurn bright in the night like an old kerosene lampI was sure that they would always be thereAnd one day they were goneThe lights from the chemical plant
