Watertower Songtext
von Wieuca

It was mid-July
Midnight off exit 105
Backpack full of spray cans
Colors I could find
Bugs were biting and humming songs
Dropped my flashlight but carried on

I shake as I climb
The water tower in the sky
That cranes above the pines
And dying flowers
I slip and I fall
Your name still written on the wall
In letters three foot tall
The water tower


Just like the rest
You never moved away from here
Married young
And when the weather′s clear
You squint and see it from your yard
We left this town a scar

I shake as I climb
The water tower in the sky
That cranes above the pines
And dying flowers
I slip and I fall
Your name
Still written on the wall
The water tower

Too expensive to demolish
The tower yet remains
A monument of loss
Sneering at the highway
Now protected by a gate
Sun bleaches paint and I fade
