When the bucks sing and the dungy snow covers everything
Tonight up on beat, yeah you feel it in your stomach, it's comin' from the street oh no
Oh no
Oh
Ephrata, Ephrata
I thought the world was endin'
When the market burned down
We were sleepin' in the minister's bed
We siren and the city was singin'
I lay awake dreamin' (dreamin')
With the ocean boilin'
But them evergreens shed annually
With our red giant
Ephrata, Ephrata
The air con was broken
So we just drove around
Followin' those down
We were sleepin' in the minister's bed
When you said: "Are you afraid for your soul? Oh I'm afraid for my soul"
I lay awake dreamin' (dreamin')
With the ocean boilin'
But them evergreens shed annually
With our red giant
(Thought the world was endin')
(Ephrata, Ephrata)
(Thought the world was endin')
And there's nothing to be done
Chances are we'll be long gone
When she reclaims us like an ancient colony
Says: "Everything you know, well it belongs to me
Every brush stroke you've made, every melody
Was all on borrowed energy
And I want it back
Back
I want it back"
Ephrata, Ephrata
Ephrata, Ephrata
Ephrata, Ephrata, Ephrata
