"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 coming for years now
Every summer
'Cause that's whеn the symptoms appear

Ask your friends about thеir prophetic dreams
Ask your kids about the shadows they've seen
Seems like everyone but you's got a feeling
Something's buried under Gary, Indiana
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
