Goin Southbound — текст песни (Stan Ridgway)

Tell not a word that you heard it here

But theres a big truck waitin tonight at the pier

Comin in on an east-bound boat

Now, dont be late for deliverycchere, put this in your coat

Its a strange weight from an exotic locale

Dont worry about the cops, cause theyre in on it, pal

Just pick it up no later than tonight at three oclock

And bring it to the warehousecchere, put this in your sock



No one left to save you

Nobody will return

You run so fast, you catch on fire

Youve just gotta burn

Yeahcc





Chorus:

Goin southbound

Follow that sound

Long line of cars

Just a-movin out of town

Youve got this job

But you dont 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

Well rely on your expert eye

Here, put this in your shirt

Yeahcc





Chorus repeat x2





And well all be waiting so long

Wait so long

Well all be waiting so long

Wait so long, wait so long





Now if you get caught, dont 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

Havent been back there sinceccguess hes swingin there still





All this is a secret

As common as that dirt

Well rely on your expert eye

Here, put this in your shirt

Yeahccyeah! yeah! yeah!





Chorus repeat x2





Goin southbound...

Were goin southbound...

Were goin southbound...

Were goin southbound...
