Single Piston Town ft. Cait Leow, David Landau, Kara McKee & Nick Lee Lyrics

Here they learn

To sleep through almost anything

Here we gathered

To suffer only fools

That Empty Lasalle Hotel

And all the secrets that it held

Like Restoration Brothels

Only Could

Single piston town

A single piston town

With a thousand dreams

Single piston town

Suffered from extraction

But it's not what it seems

So help me get up that grade

Up beyond the canyons

But carry me back someday

To you

Barely a point along the tracks

Between Denver and Salt Lake

But come to find you were like

Nowhere else in Carbon County

We found you there on basement walls

And echoed down those peeling halls

But still some stories buried

Deep down in the seams

She told us

Names are like mantras

To hang there in the dark

Your name is the mantra

We hang when it gets dark

I don't know what really happened here

To tell you the truth

We offered up our saddest songs

But somehow we knew

The years might just devour them all

Like happens to these old hotels

Awaiting restoration for

The memories of what happened here

Our single piston town

Single piston town

With a thousand dreams

Single piston town

Suffered from extraction

But it's not what it seems

So help me get up that grade

Up beyond the canyons

But carry me back someday

To you

Here they learned

To sleep through almost anything
