Tragic Fact (Non- Album Track) Citadel Theater Lyrics by Brooke Maxwell, Jacob Richmond

2013

Constance:
Our first song is by Father Louis P. Marcus, our choir conductor he was inspired by traditional African folk music
Specifically The Lion King
It’s about our hometown Uranium, enjoy
Ocean:
Uranium
Choir:
Uranium
That's our town, our friendly town
Ocean:
Uranium
Choir (Underneath next line):
Uranium
That's our town, our highway town
(Ooh)
NOEL:
The sky is almost blue here
Great elevators too here
Choir (Underneath next line):
The pride and joy of sweet Saskatchewan
(Ooh)
Constance:
We came here for the half-life
And stayed here for our whole life
Choir:
To give the whole wide world plutonium
Ocean:
Uranium
Choir:
Uranium
That's our town, our friendly town
Mischa:
There's a bank and arena, and there's bingos to play
Choir:
You'll find the finest coffee at the Fat Man Café
Noel:
From our marching band to the general store
Choir:
That’s right
This whole town was made from uranium ore
Karnak(Spoken):
And my part in this story
I read all of the children's fortunes
I felt their hopes, thoughts, dreams, knowing they would board the doomed rollercoaster...and I told them nothing
I even suggested they ride the cyclone
Tonight, my apology, a eulogy in a way of a concert
The final concert of the now-deceased St. Cassian Chamber Choir
Choir:
Then of course they closed the mine
The town was broke by '99
They closed the public school and city hall
The smart ones all packed up and went
Why stay if you can't pay the rent
A greeter at the mega shopping mall
It's a fact, it's a fact, just another tragic fact
We will never leave this town at all
Our folks, it seems, were too entwined
Stubborn, wouldn't change their mind
Hoping bust might turn right back to boom
Cross their fingers, pray for luck
Bow down to the mighty buck
Waiting in this godforsaken tomb
Empty people, empty mind
Living life or killing time
A dead-end town against a dead-end wall
There's nothing cute and nothing sweet
This town has only one main street
Let me face my boredom at the mall
It's a fact, it's a fact, just another tragic fact
We will never leave this town at all...
Aaah
Aaa-aaahh
Jane:
Aaaaaaaaaah
Ocean:
So what do we do to fill our day
Choir:
Make plans for the getaway
Mischa:
Eat a bite, or drink some homemade brew
Constance:
One culture here
Choir:
Join the choir
Noel:
Build yourself a funeral pyre
So many stimulating things to do
Choir:
Its so not TV satellite
Work all day, sleep all night
Ricky:
Once a week there's bingo at the hall
Choir:
How can I describe my hate?
It's one year 'till I graduate
Noel:
At least I won't be working at the mall
Noel, Constance, Ricky:
Thank God I won't be working at the mall
Choir:
Damned if I'll be working at the mall
It's a fact, it's a fact, just another tragic fact
We will never
Leave
This
Town
At
All...
Ahh...
Aaa-aaahh
Jane:
Aaaaaaaaaah
