lyrics

Jonestown

Keep your ears close
And hear past the commotion
Past all the history and the hiss of the tape
As you draw closer, like images in the fog
These voices and sounds begin to take shape
In Jonestown.
How far am I from?

Witness the happenings
We never thought would happen
Permit the words that we thought we would not say
These places- how will we ever get back again?
Decades to forget what arrived in just days
In Jonestown
How far am I from?

You just need someone
To make sense of this madness
You just need someone
To make it a story that you can believe
Forget the facts, and hand you an atlas
You’ll follow their story wherever it leads
Wherever it leads
Wherever it leads
Jonestown
How far am I from?
how far am I from?

Keep your ears close
And hear past the commotion
Past all the history and the hiss of the tape
As you draw closer, like images in the fog
These voices and sounds begin to take shape
In Jonestown.
How far am I from?
