Ah the lengthening hours in the refinery
Belching fire into the sky
We do our best vampire routines
As we suck the dying hours dry
The night is lovely as a rose
If I see sunlight hit you
I am sure that we'll both decompose

Ah the fitful sleep and the fire engines
That I dream of when I dream
Some day we'll both wake up for good
I will try hard not to scream
The evening wind will shake the blinds
You're stirring from your slumber
We've got something hateful on our minds

Oh sing sing sing
For the dying of the day
Sing for the flames that will rip through here
And the smoke that will carry us away
Yeah sing for the damage we've done
And the worse things that we'll do
Open your mouth up and sing for me now
And I will sing for you

    Take Southwood Plantation Road to Old St. Augustine Road; turn onto Capital Circle South and then turn onto Woodville highway which you follow to the coast. Before you come into the bustling metropolis of St. Marks Florida (pop. 272), there sits an old oil refinery alongside the river surrounded by a fense. Guarding the gate sits an old rusted fire engine. Bitter unending love.

    -Marc Tallahassee, FL.
