Point Hope Lyrics

Hey little darling
There’s something that you should know
This thing is gonna hound every soul
This thing it won’t let us go

Gonna take us down to nothing
Gonna eat us from the inside out
And hey, little darling
I don’t want you feeling the fallout

When the cancer finally took him
I was watching the trucks pull in
Me and your daddy, we had a job under the ground, mining uranium
Some things your daddy leaves you, there’s
Some things he don’t
Some things are gonna be here anyhow and
Some things just wont
One thing I want you to understand is
you ain’t gotta be no mining man
I curse the day that I went down and I
Pulled that shit out of the ground

Now we were living over in Nevada
That’s where your people come from
Your grandma would take me and your daddy on down to the gunnery range
We sit and watch the bombs blow and when the sun goes down
All the colors runnin like the Painted Desert and you get to see it now
Them government boys had something so damn secret they had to hide it in the desert sand
Out there the sky’s so big and there ain’t no mistaking it, who’s got the winning hand?

Now I’ve been all the way to Alaska
To a town they call Point Hope
Where they took some of what we got down here
just to see how it would grow
I hear the lichen bought it, now it’s running thru the caribou
I said, soon, little darling
ah, you’ll get to feel it too
