Manitoba i/ˌmænəˈtoʊbə/ is a Canadian prairie province. The province, with an area of 649,950 square kilometres (250,900 sq mi), has a largely continental climate because of its flat topography. Agriculture, mostly concentrated in the fertile southern and western parts of the province, is vital to the province's economy; other major industries are transportation, manufacturing, mining, forestry, energy, and tourism.
Manitoba's capital and largest city, Winnipeg, is Canada's eighth-largest Census Metropolitan Area, and home to 60 percent of the population of the province. Winnipeg is the seat of government, home to the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba and the highest court in the jurisdiction, the Manitoba Court of Appeal. Four of the province's five universities, all four of its professional sports teams, and most of its cultural activities are located in Winnipeg.
Fur traders first arrived during the late 17th century. Manitoba became a province of Canada in 1870 after the Red River Rebellion. A general strike took place in Winnipeg in 1919, and the province was hit hard by the Great Depression. This led to the creation of what would become the New Democratic Party of Manitoba, one of the province's major political parties and currently in power, led by premier Greg Selinger.
Again under over wonder

I met you then fell apart now I'm nothing more than a broken heart
I see you from the inside out, first we turn it up, then we turn it out c'mon.

have i lost track of all the time?
where i've been waiting by the phone
tonight is colder than it was
and i just want to get you home
you felt so good you go out on
and lead your way back to the house
i slip my arm around your neck
and pull you over to the ground
have i lost track of all the time?
where i've been waiting by the phone

Ba Ba Ba Ba (repeated)
Time's Up
Get on the way can't be right now
Something's got me started but I can't turn around
It just took down ties to take what I've become
These ties wrapped in knots and its only just begun
Look out now
To see wheat fields and vacant bats, (??) and complaining cats
This is all I see
Spinning round you weigh me down
Gravel hands of green and brown (x4)
In your cells both red and white
On the sun that gives us light
In your cells both white and red
From the mouth our kids get fed
In your cells both red and white (spinning round you weigh me down)
On the sun that gives us light (gravel hands of green and brown)
In your cells both white and red
From the mouth our kids get fed
In your cells both red and white
On the sun that gives us light (way down on the ground)
In your cells both white and red (big cells that you can hear)
From the mouth...
Start things with another yawn
Once again it's nothing new
Gotta go out and get the time just gotta find somethin' to do.
Up in Manitoba
The sky was very blue
The people were a few
And nights were getting colder
And when I heard the sound
Saw the sky turn red
I got up from my bed
And I wandered far from town
I have seen the face of God
And I was not afraid
I have seen the face of God
And I have dearly paid
Darkness came I couldn't see
I had no light to follow
I slept inside the hollow
Of a dead and fallen tree
I'll tell you how three days I tried
To wake my up, ah, but no
My flesh had turned to snow
And I thought I had died
For I have seen the face of God
And I was not afraid
I have seen the face of God
And I have dearly paid
And though I had it rough
They got me home in time
And they gave me homemade wine
But it was not enough
The cold had made me dumb
And I was sent away
These walls are here today
For fifty years and some
Yes, I have seen the face of God
And I was not afraid
I have seen the face of God
And I have dearly paid
I have seen the face of God
And I was not afraid
I have seen the face of God
