Stan Ridgway - Goin' Southbound lyrics

Your rating:

But there's a big trunk waiting tonight at the pier
Comin' in on an eastbound boat
Don't be late for delivery...here, put this in your coat
It's a strange weight from an exotic locale
Don't worry 'bout the cops 'cause they're in on it, pal
Just pick it up no later than  tonight at three o'clock
And bring it to the warehouse...here, put this in your sock

No one left to save you,
Nobody will return
You run so fast, you catch on fire
You just gotta burn

CHORUS
Goin' soutbound
Follow that sound
Whole line of cars just a movin' out of town
You got this job and you don't know how
And everybody's doin' what nobody will allow

Full moon shines like a big cue ball
Someone fishin' on the pier, might as well stall
Repaint the car, change your license plate
How you spell relief?
Must be somethin' that you ate

All  this is a secret
As common as that dirt
We'll rely on your expert eye
Here, put this in your shirt

CHORUS

Big yellow moon hangin' low in  the sky
Sun'll rise soon, but nobody knows why
And we'll all be waitin' so long
Wait so long
We'll all be waitin' so long
Wait so long, wait so long

Now if you get caught, don't tell 'em about me
The last one who did, well we tied him to a tree
Out in the high desert by an ant hill
Haven't been back there since, guess he's swingin' there still

Now all this is a secret
As common as that dirt
We'll rely on your expert eye
Here, put this in your shirt

CHORUS
