|
if you want to come on down |
|
down with your bones so white |
|
and watch the freight trains pound |
|
into the wild, wild night |
|
|
|
how i would love to gnaw |
|
gnaw on your bones so white |
|
and watch while the freight trains paw |
|
paw at the wild, wild night |
|
|
|
all these ghost towns, wreathed in old loam |
|
assateague knee-deep in seafoam |
|
ho swansea! buttonwillow! |
|
lagunitas! ho calico! |
|
|
|
and all these beastly bungalows |
|
stare, distend, like endless toads |
|
endlessly hop down the road |
|
borne by wind, we southward blow |
|
|
|
and yonder, wild and blue |
|
the wild blue yonder looms |
|
till we are wracked with rheum |
|
by roads, by songs entombed |
|
|
|
and all we want to do |
|
is chew, and chew, and chew! |
|
dear one, drive on |
|
when all we want to do |
|
is chew, and chew, and chew |
|
|
|
and if you want to come on down |
|
down with your bones so white |
|
watch while the freight trains pound |
|
into the wild, wild night |
|
|
|
how i would love to gnaw |
|
to gnaw on your bones so white |
|
and watch while the freight trains paw |
|
paw at the wild, wild night |
