Grant Lee Buffalo - BETHLEHEM STEEL lyrics

There was a light blue as a welder's torch

It used to shine over the fields

And all the wise men strong men were drawn for miles

Followed a star to Bethlehem Steel

Our mother's father worked here in World War Two

On the main floor operating the drill

And in his open palms little splinters remind him of

The booming days days of Bethlehem Steel

But the steeples on the hills they point

To a better life beyond this one

And that promise penetrates the clouds

And mighty walls of brick red cinnamon

Ah ah

Take a walk past Lazarus Moving n' Storage

Behind the Goodman's Furniture Store

See the smoke stacks rise on up to heaven's step

While on earth we're burnin' this miracle iron ore

But the steeples on the hills they point

To a better life beyond this one

And that promise penetrates the clouds

Even when they block the fiery sun

The sun

There was a light blue as a welder's torch

It used to shine over the fields

And all of the wise men strong men were drawn for miles

Followed a star to Bethlehem Steel

Bethlehem Steel

Bethlehem Steel

Bethlehem Steel

Bethlehem Steel

Yeah Steel

Yeah Steel

Bethlehem Steel

Ah Steel

Bethlehem Steel

Bethlehem Steel

Yeah Steel

Steel

Yeah Steel

[A scrap of a phrase - Spoken]

Oh Steel

Ah Steel
