Lyrics
Genoa bridge collapse. Erased from any map.
Genoa thunderstorm. Sleepy morning. Chloroform.
Genoa cobalt skyline. Our Lady of the Watch Shrine.
Genoa straight rough race. Slick pathways. Cloud staircase.
Genoa lonely cat. Dark bedroom. Soaring bat.
Genoa climate change. Sea that welds with coastal range.
Genoa cold cheesecake. Banschee. No root, no sake.
Genoa honey shell. Daydream beauty. Dancing hell.
Genoa so deep inside. My love tale. But no bride.
Genoa gloomy ghost town. Groggy windstorm. Girl splashdown.
Genoa sweet waterfront. New bloodthirsty wild witch-hunt.
Genoa sweet showcase. Moody poets hiding place.
Genoa rabid dog. Sweet jingle. Uncle hog.
Genoa gun outrange. Faustian Bargain. Stock exchange.
Genoa hot ice cream. My whore. My rest. My dream.
Genoa lost steel age. Faustian Bargain heritage.
Genoa my lost hometown. My fiction. My turndown.
Genoa agony. Shallow landslide. Bankruptcy.
Genoa bridge collapse. Forty-three flew out the track.
Genoa forty-three. Faustian pact strategy.
Genoa lightning bolt. Trucks fall-down. Crumbly poult.
Genoa sandstone stream. Nightmare movie. Cracking beam.
Genoa stands alone. Trash starlets. Heart of stone.
Genoa is no more my pain when I dream to be back again.
