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

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
