If you want to come 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 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
