Swansea |
If you want to come on down |
Down with your bones so white |
Watch the freight trains pound |
Into the wild, wild night |
How I would love to gnaw |
To gnaw on your bones so white |
And watch as 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 the freight trains pound |
Into the wild, wild night |
How I would love to gnaw |
To gnaw on your bones so white |
And watch as the freight trains paw |
Paw at the wild, wild night |
Paw at the wild, wild night |
Paw at the wild, wild night |
