Poseyville

from Gasoline by Utility Project

lyrics

I live in Poseyville
in a house upon the hill
there's an oil well out back
it never stops does not slack
nodding up and down
a sea of corn surrounds

in the evening all is still
all except the well
it never stops does not slack
that oil well out back
nodding up and down

it sounds like a turkey that's being choked
it squeals and it cries with every downstroke
all that I want is a moment of peace
but I'm at the mercy of this screaming beast
I can't stand to be in my own home
the screams and the cries won't leave me alone

I'm here in Poseyville
in a house upon the hill
I'm under attack
by that oil well out back
hands upon my ears
but there's something loud and clear

fingernails on chalkboards
the wails of dying horse
nothing can compare
with the sound I hear
it happens every day
It'll never go away

I guess I could move
yeah I think I'll just move
