Pogues
Oretown

The night stank of diesel

A stranger came to town

A cold wind blowing

And the rain pouring down



Street lights flicker

And the power lines moan

The moon beat down

On a river of bone



Someone put the lights out

No one make a sound

You won't find a thing

Down in Oretown



Foundry spits fire and smoke

Air's foul and choking

Sky is full of sulphur

Hills flat and broken



Black fogs and whirlwinds

The thunder and rain

Open drink madness

Purple mad pain



The circus is over

Exit the clowns

Nobody's laughing

Down in Oretown



The ship's in the harbor

Cargo's been pawned

Barrooms spilling sailors

All shipwrecked at dawn



Smelling of salt and rust

Uniform's torn

Came looking for flowers

Only found thorns



Dreaming of mermaids

In pearly white gowns

Captain is sleeping

Down in Oretown



There's a man down on mainstreet

Eyes all aflame

Laughing in the thunder

Of the Number 9 train



Selling old postcards in rusty frames

A thousand views of Oretown

And they all look the same



Dressed up in sandals

A barbed wire crown

A lot of people lost their minds

Down in Oretown



Lock up the lawman

Let go the thief

Round up the grey men

Nail them to a tree



This town was a palace

This town was aglow

Well, the sky burned orange

And the iron river flowed



The night stank of diesel

A stranger came to town

The night folded over

Down in Oretown


Mirror lyrics:

Down in Oretown

The night folded over

A stranger came to town

The night stank of diesel



And the iron river flowed

Well, the sky burned orange

This town was aglow

This town was a palace



Nail them to a tree

Round up the grey men

Let go the thief

Lock up the lawman



Down in Oretown

A lot of people lost their minds

A barbed wire crown

Dressed up in sandals



And they all look the same

A thousand views of Oretown

Selling old postcards in rusty frames



Of the Number 9 train

Laughing in the thunder

Eyes all aflame

There's a man down on mainstreet



Down in Oretown

Captain is sleeping

In pearly white gowns

Dreaming of mermaids



Only found thorns

Came looking for flowers

Uniform's torn

Smelling of salt and rust



All shipwrecked at dawn

Barrooms spilling sailors

Cargo's been pawned

The ship's in the harbor



Down in Oretown

Nobody's laughing

Exit the clowns

The circus is over



Purple mad pain

Open drink madness

The thunder and rain

Black fogs and whirlwinds



Hills flat and broken

Sky is full of sulphur

Air's foul and choking

Foundry spits fire and smoke



Down in Oretown

You won't find a thing

No one make a sound

Someone put the lights out



On a river of bone

The moon beat down

And the power lines moan

Street lights flicker



And the rain pouring down

A cold wind blowing

A stranger came to town

The night stank of diesel
