"Why do you come here," they say
Every summer
"Don't you have anywhere better to be?"
You arrive with the butterfly weed
Blow into town like a cottonwood seed
Something's buried under Gary, Indiana
Something's buried under Gary, Indiana
There's blood on the lake shore
Keening from the wild
Haven't you felt it moving?
Deep in the soil
Something's buried under Gary, Indiana
Something's buried under Gary, Indiana
So I have been comin' for years now
Every summer
'Cuz that's when the symptoms appear
Ask your friends about their prophetic dreams
Ask your kids about the shadow's they've seen
Seem's like everyone but you's got a feelin'
Something's buried under Gary, Indiana
It'll swallow the steel mills
The lake's gonna boil
Haven't you felt it crawling?
Deep in the soil
Something's buried under Gary, Indiana
Something's buried under Gary, Indiana
Something's buried under Gary, Indiana
Something's buried under Gary, Indiana
