	Story Behind the Song I think the inspiration for this was listening back to some mumbled ramblings of Carl's during the writing process for the music in 'Albatross'. I was listening back and caught a little phrase about Margaret's Museum being a reflection of reality...or something like that. Being a big fan of the movie, and a proud Canadian, I bothered him for months, and he came up with these lyrics; somehow the whole song just banged together after that, and with some arranging we put together what you hear. Lyrics The coal mine settles in and the map highlits this town. The blackened sheath disguise and the headlights shine on down. Her mother disapproves of the man thats drinkin booze, the memories of her love have left her torn and bruised. Denial leads to mourn as the siren sounds once more. Clinging to a thread in the hopes that they're not dead. I told you once before about the coal and it's debt. She admits the dead are just screwin up her head. Maggie's picklin yeah for the grand opening On the day her time was payed the wind was blowin down. Her museum stood at the edge of a coalmine town. The voices from the see will haunt her memory. The piper plays no more as the waves crash on the floor. Maggie's picklin yeah for the grand opening.
