about

Inspired by Upper Nicola Indian Band creation tales about Nicola Lake

lyrics

A fistful of dollars for a simple trick
Listen to me Pa, they're rolling over quick
Scarecrow and the yellow moon around
Carnival sitting on the edge of town

Lady luck going off to tempt her fate
Diamond dancers who patiently await
Put your money down on the ancients' grave
Psychic smoke as you fade away

I won't pray to a body that floats
Won't save a soul if the money don't flow

Old growth been wearing out its stay
Sawmill, planers will tear it all away
Smokestack stuck on a flatbed truck
Tonnes of chains to tie it up

The mirror pond is a blackened looking glass
Underneath it all the seer's face is trapped
Such a noble day for a sacrifice
With no return from the ever afterlife

The whole mountain side is being blasted out
Natives warned them all not to build the route
Water's moving even when it's clear
Now the bodies just go and disappear

Carnival is rolling out of town
Light a smoke up, the driver's looking down
Hear the temptress call out his name
Another rose in hell, another water grave
