Beaches movie - Oh Industry lyrics

rate me

Song by Bette Midler<br /><br>

I am the captain and this is my shrine.<br>

Lord of the manor. See what I leave behind.<br>

River in flames, cities on fire.<br>

Yes, I'm a relic trapped in the wire.<br>

<br>

Hydrogen fuel, it burns so clean,<br>

throbs in the veins; a mother lovin' machine.<br>

She is my wife. Her mechanical heart<br>

constantly serving 'til death do us part.<br>

<br>

Now a glorious war draws to a close.<br>

The yellow winds blow. And I have to know.<br>

Oh industry, whatever will become of me?<br>

Soon the cruel rains will start.<br>

Is it true we must part company?<br>

Oh industry, whatever will become of me?<br>

What have I ever done?<br>

Where did I go wrong?<br>

<br>

Joined at the hip; pain, hunger and I,<br>

leave our gift to the world 'neath the phosphorous sky.<br>

A labor of love is the truest of all.<br>

But will I be forsaken after the fall?<br>

<br>

Now a glorious war draws to a close.<br>

The yellow winds blow. And I have to know.<br>

Oh industry, whatever will become of me?<br>

Nothing after the flood but the fire and the mud's prophecy.<br>

Oh industry, whatever will become of me?<br>

Of me?<br>

<br>

Industry, charity, faith, hope.<br>

Industry, charity, faith, hope.<br>

Industry, charity, faith, hope.<br>

Industry, charity, faith, hope.<br>

Industry, charity, faith, hope . . .<br>
