I will not sing your ugly song

I won't put on your ugly play  

I cannot join your ugly priesthood 

And if I die I won't come home

Railroad boy of mine... 

I bought you crows and candelabra

And I went moth-eating with you 

I held you down when you had seizures

And read to you at bedtime  

Railroad boy of mine... 

We went to see a beaver dam

We went to see a coral reef 

But life is more than going to see things

And that's too bad  

Railroad boy of mine

Railroad boy of mine...
