Swansea

If you wanna come on down

Down with your bones so white

Watch all the freight trains pound

Into the wild, wild night

How I would love to gnaw

To gnaw on your bones so white

And watch all 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 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

Watch all the freight trains pound

Into the wild, wild night

How I would love to gnaw

To gnaw on your bones so white

And watch all the freight trains paw

Paw at the wild, wild night

Paw at the wild, wild night

Paw at the wild, wild night
