[Verse 1] I walk down the stairwell, signs lean on the wall Dayton, Ameritec — they had it all Blue drums in the racking, three stories high Corrosive diamond warning catching my eye [Verse 2] IBC totes lined up, labels worn thin Something labeled 3125 waiting within The concrete is stained here, the fluorescents hum I've been in this warehouse since the new tank come [Chorus] Tainted drums Oh, tainted drums I touch you but I feel the chemical burn Tainted drums Oh, tainted drums Now I pump you out and I watch you churn [Verse 3] They rolled in the big one just last week Cream poly walls, black dome at its peak A red valve at the bottom, Genie lift by its side Ten thousand gallons of something inside [Chorus] Tainted drums Oh, tainted drums I touch you but I feel the chemical burn Tainted drums Oh, tainted drums Now I pump you out and I watch you churn [Bridge — sparse, cold, minimal] Don't you know... The racking goes up to the ceiling Don't you know... That new tank's got me reeling Don't you know... ChemStation never sleeps Don't you know... This warehouse runs so deep [Final Chorus — key change ↑] Tainted drums Oh, tainted drums I touch you but I feel the chemical burn Tainted drums Oh, tainted drums Now I pump you out And I watch you Churn
