Dangle by a single wire, one more time around
 Devil dances with Desire, promenade me down
 Shame my name, I drank and sang
 I kicked my heels up high
 In the morning I'd awake
 Where I had laid my head at night
 
 Dangle by a single wire, streets are full in town
 Come the ladies and the liars, promenade me down
 Now there has always been a railroad running underneath
 I have heard it in these fields
 And I have seen it in my dreams
 
 Dangle by a single wire, all is quiet now
 So dark the night and cold the hour, promenade me down
 Meet me in the field
 A trail of blood upon the leaves
 There are two moons out tonight
 And all the stars are thick as thieves
 Now one minute I was sleeping
 And the next I was awake
 And I was uninvited
 But a guest at midnight made
 
 Dangle by a single wire, ears to hear the sound
 Serenade a house on fire, promenade me down
 Oh the rabbits in their best furs
 And the foxes in long tails
 A table set for feasting to a hounds' bloodthirsty wale
 And when they came a-running
 Everything we'd left behind
 Was shattered plates and ashes
 And bones for dogs to find
 And the train whistle screaming
 And the ground, she did quake
 And we never had no ticket on the last Promenade
