King of Uranium City - Chilblaine Winters

King of Uranium City Lyrics

Charlie was a man, worked hard as hard could be
Lived in company housing up in Uranium City
Doctors said the mining stress stabbed him like a knife
Took extended holidays, the one time in his life
Came back home rested and relaxed
Found out the hard way there had been considerable impacts
Town packed up, they got out they bailed
Not one person left, last coffin had been nailed
DRINK LIKE THE DEVIL
DANCE LIKE A DEMON
KING OF URANIUM CITY
GLOW LIKE AN ANGEL
SHINE LIKE THE JESUS
KING OF URANIUM CITY

All the TIME in the world and the DISTANCE between
SHIELDED from societies machine
Turned their back on him, no warning to go
Left Charlie by himself, didn't get the memo
Cursed the humans from lonely waters edge
Vowed to remain, made it his pledge
Haven for the raven the wolf and the bear
Charlies domain made him crazy past repair
DRINK LIKE THE DEVIL
DANCE LIKE A DEMON
KING OF URANIUM CITY
GLOW LIKE AN ANGEL
SHINE LIKE THE JESUS
KING OF URANIUM CITY
Chipewyan held virtue at their momentous powwow
Charlie paddled hard to make it there by sundown
Athabascan waters green in the distance
Charlie had a glow about him, brightened in the darkness
Elders say he's a northern light that once fell from the sky
Whiskey sour debutante grows brighter yet with rye
Night wears on the tepees, they get their turn to shine
Firefly makes his rounds for the ladies love divine
DRINK LIKE THE DEVIL
DANCE LIKE A DEMON
KING OF URANIUM CITY
GLOWS LIKE AN ANGEL
SHINES LIKE THE JESUS
KING OF URANIUM CITY
Charlie licked firewater, sped his rate of DECAY
Lived for tonight, wouldn't live another day
Legend says he lives on in every shooting star
Burnt out from running hot, Charles William Lamar
DRINK LIKE THE DEVIL
DANCE LIKE A DEMON
KING OF URANIUM CITY
DRINK LIKE THE DEVIL
KING OR URANIUM CITY
