lirik lagu vufcup - 1919

we hadn’t had a day this warm since the fall
above freezing in the northeast
everything’s the same that day in the afternoon
sitting in keany square, a peaceful lunch view

drivers running errands in their model t sedans
wednesday routine of blacksmiths and pavers
cylinders 50 feet tall and 90 feet round
holding 2 million gallons of molasses

a shipment to the facility arrived yesterday
reduced viscosity made the pour quick
a thermal expansion of what was already there
would test thе tank to the maximum….

we werе riding on the highs and lows of the time
‘tween celebration and casketless mass burials
babe ruth and the red sox world series championship
while the flu lessened our population by a 1000

we hadn’t had a day this warm since the fall
40 degrees in the northeast
everything’s the same that day like we thought it was
but then in a flash all our lives changed

it sounded like train but our feet were off the ground
swept up and thrown back while the earth it shook around
a streetcar tipped off the track and a truck tossed in the harbor
a sweet smell rising up, whistle of propelling rivets
a home and office flattened, firehouse heavily damaged
we looked up to the sky to see what was coming at us
25 feet high moving twice the speed of a car
the molasses tank had busted and was engulfing us all

all the streets became flooded, the molasses densified
those knocked down tried get up but they just laid where they died
some were thrown into the harbor, others glazed over and smothered
150 people hurt and 21 died from the explosion

it took weeks to clean it all, using salt water, sand to absorb it
everyone tracked molasses so now everything is sticky
legend has it decades later still on hot summer days
you can still smell molasses that was made in 1919
that was made in 1919
that was made in 1919
that was made in 1919
