If you wanna come on down
Down with your bones so white
And watch while the freight trains pound
Into the wild wild night
How I would love to gnaw
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
'Til we are wracked with rheum
By roads, by songs entombed
And all we wanna do
Is chew and chew and chew
Dear one
Drive on
When all we wanna do
Is chew and chew and chew
And if you wanna 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
To gnaw on your bones so-o white
And watch while the freight trains paw
Paw at the wild wild night
Paw at the wild wild night
Paw at the wild wild night
