(Adam Duritz)
I too kthe cannonball down to the ocean
Across the desert from sea to shinging sea
I rode a ladder the climbs across the nation
Fifty million feet of earth between the buried and me
CHORUS
«How do you do?»
She said, «Hey, how do you do?
SHe buys a ticket ’cause it’s cold where she comes from
She climbs aboard because she’s scared of getting older in the snow
Love is a ghost train rumbling through the darkness
Hold on to me darling I’ve got nowhere else to go
CHORUS
I took the cannonball down to the ocean
Watched the diesel disappear beneath the rumbling waves
Love is a ghost train howling on the radio
«Remember everything,» she said, «when only memory remains.»
CHORUS
