T.C. Elliott - I Can't Turn It Off

The water flows on and on
Down to the end of the street
AI try and try to turn the valve
I guess I'm too damn weak

Though the dam has held for years
The equipment is rusted and old
They say it's scheduled to be replaced
At least that's what I'm told

And the water starts to pour
The walls can't take it anymore
And I can't turn it off

I feel the stress under the weight
The moorings groan, the waters rage
And I can't turn it off

Thousands of people in their homes
Don't know what to expect
I pull the cord, sound the alarm
But they think it's just a test

The dam was built in '69
For years it has kept us all safe
But soon there will be nothing left
As the dam continues to break

And the water starts to pour
The walls can't take it anymore
And I can't turn it off

I feel the stress under the weight
The moorings groan, the waters rage
And I can't turn it off

I can't turn it off
I can't turn it off
