if you want [bad word] 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 while 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
 till we are wracked with rheum
 by roads, by songs entombed

 and all we want to do
 is chew, and chew, and chew!
 dear one, drive on
 when all we want to do
 is chew, and chew, and chew

 and if you want [bad word] on down
 down with your bones so white
 watch while the freight trains pound
 into the wild, wild night

 how i would love to gnaw
 to gnaw on your bones so white
 and watch while the freight trains paw
 paw at the wild, wild night
