The Coast - PUP

Canadian Cold, Canadian Cheer

I couldn’t spend another winter up here

In this desolate fishing town

Counting the months as they wear me down

Watch over your flock

The cracks in the ice will swallow them up

The lake needs to eat just like all living things

And it’s hungriest in the spring

Now you know

What’s eating me

Taking hold

It was dragging me down

It was dragging me down

The town is always on alert

In the spring they patrol the coast

Fearing the worst

And no one can seem to accept the fact

The lake gives us life and she takes it back

Now you know

What’s eating me

Taking hold

It was dragging me

Down in the valley

Where they found the body

It was growing cold

Now you know

What’s eating me

Taking hold

It was dragging me down

It was dragging me down

Now you know

Now you know

Now you know

What’s eating me

In the dawn another girl had gone missing

Last anyone heard she’d gone out to go fishing

The cracks in the lake make a mighty fine grave in the summer thaw
