Wheat KingsThe Tragically Hip

G GsusSundown in the Paris of the prairiesWheat kings have all their treasures buriedAnd all you hear are the rusty breezesPushing around the weather vane Jesus

In his Zippo lighter, he sees the killer’s faceMaybe it’s someone standing in the killers placeTwenty years for nothing, well that’s nothing newBesides, no one’s interested in something you didn’t do

G GsusThere’s a dream he dreams where the high school is dead and starkIt’s a museum and we’re all locked up in it after darkWhere the walls are lined all yellow, grey and sinisterHung with pictures of our parents’ prime ministers

G GsusLate breaking story on the CBCA nation whispers, “We always knew that he’d go free”They add, “You can’t be fond of living in the past,‘cause if you are then there’s no way that you’re gonna last”
