Liam Randall - Collapse of Key Bridge Lyrics

Somebody broke a bridge
A miracle how few lives we lost
A terrible way to go
Now we have to count the cost
The pilot radioed ahead
To let them know the ship was dead
Stopped the traffic just in time
To watch the whole thing fall
But nobody dropped the ball

300 meters long
She's nowhere near the biggest one
Momentum is a curse
If you can't steer then you're all done
Safety record up to task, well
That depends on who you ask
All the cargo you can hold
And still manage to set sail
Economy of scale

Superstructure, substructure
Infrastructure, take your pick
A bridge becomes a pile of sticks
A seaport closes down
Six workmen drown

The thing about a bridge
It won't last forever
It takes all kinds of people
To hold the thing together
It brings to mind my bridges broken
Deeds I've done and words I've spoken
Instead of staring across the water
And watching from ridge to ridge
Maybe make a bridge
Maybe make a bridge
Maybe make a bridge
