swansea

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
