And another

Nothing special about it, really, except it`s the first song I`ve managed to upload to CITYBagel in a long, long time:

Tell not a word that you heard it here
But there`s a big truck waitin` tonight at the pier
Comin` in on an east-bound boat
Now, don`t be late for delivery––here, put this in your coat
It`s a strange weight from an exotic locale
Don`t worry about 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`ve just gotta burn
Yeah––


Chorus:
Goin` southbound
Follow that sound
Long line of cars
Just a-movin` out of town
You`ve got this job
But you don`t know how
And everybody does
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 ya 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
Yeah––

Chorus repeat x2

And we`ll all be waiting so long
Wait so long
We`ll all be waiting 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

All this is a secret
As common as that dirt
We`ll rely on your expert eye
Here, put this in your shirt
Yeah––yeah! yeah! yeah!

Chorus repeat x2

Goin` southbound...
We`re goin` southbound...
We`re goin` southbound...
We`re goin` southbound...

It`s funny I never noticed before how much Stan Ridgway uses apostrophes.
