Bombshell, you're a bombshell
What you done to me
You're a bombshell, bombshell
But there's something no one sees
Dirt poor, back doors
They all want to flee
But it's a trap door to World War III
You would make it come to be
They will follow happily
They believe you'll set them free
Don't hold back
When you finally get your chance
You will have to let it go
Let it show
Bombshell, you're a bombshell
You don't talk to me
You're a bombshell, bombshell
I am not your enemy
I am all you'll have to grieve
In your heart we don't believe
Let your vengeance set you free
Don't look back
When you're running down that track
When you’re ready to explode
No one knows

Wasteland

At the edge of town
There's a hole in the ground
The villagers say it was dug by slaves
Your mother said they came out of the sky
When they used it for mass graves
She cried
The girl grew up and stepped out into the world
She still remembered every name
Eight hundred souls and sisters
Burned into the desert sky, alive
When you live in a wasteland
Falling from graceland
There's no turning back from the past
When you see her rise
You and I will feel who lives and dies
Live a lie
They would find you in this town
They would try to bring you down
Underground
The girl grew up and spoke out after the war
She said this man must not be king
She swore on the souls of her sisters
To march him to the edge of time, align
When you live in a wasteland
You die a displaced man
There's no coming back from the facts
In a wasteland, on my own
Better off alone
Not my home
Not for long

No Sleep

You can see them falling down
To the ground all around in this town
They don’t speak, they don’t respond
They just stare and you don’t care, they said
No sleep til next year
You can see we’re still alive
When you were five we told the hive you were right
They won’t believe, they don’t dare to
They’re just scared, you’re the heir, you said
No sleep til next year
You were always meant to be
You’re the queen of merrily
Ever after there’s a dream
Only orphans will be freed
Believe in me

Driver 8

Newfane interpretation:
The walls are built up stone by stone
The fields divided one by one
And the train conductor says take a break, driver 8
Driver 8, take a break, we've been on this shift too long
Saw a treehouse on the outskirts of this farm
Power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged
The bells are ringing through the town again
Children look up, all they hear is sky blue hell ringing
And the train conductor says take a break, driver 8
Driver 8, take a break, we can reach our destination
But it's still a ways away
Way to shield the hated heat
Way to put myself to sleep
Way to shield the hated heat
Way to put myself, my children to sleep
Piloted this song in a plane like that one
She is selling faith on the go tell crusade
Locomotive 8 southern crescent hear the bells ring again
Field to weed is looking thin
And the train conductor says take a break, driver 8
Driver 8, take a break, we can reach our destination
But we're still a ways away
