Lyrics

I took the cannon ball down to the ocean
Across the desert from the sea to shining sea
I rode a ladder that climbs across the nation
50 million feet of earth between the buried and me
"How do you do?"
She said "hey, how do you do?"
She buys a ticket cause it's cold were 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 got nowhere else to go
"How do you do?"
She said "hey, how do you do?"
I took the cannonball down to the ocean
Watched the diesel disappear beneath the tumbling waves
Love is a ghost train howling on the radio
"Remember everything" she said "when only memory remains"
"How do you do?"
She said "hey, how do you do?"
