Stan Ridgway Goin' Southbound
Tell not a word that you heard it here But there's big trunk waitin' tonight at the pier Comin' in on an eastbound boat Don't be late for delivery Here, put this in yorur coat It's a strange weight from an exotic locale Don't worry 'bout the cops, 'cause they're in on it now Just pick it up no later than tonight at 3 o'clock And bring it to the warehouse...here, put this in your sock No one left to save you Nobody to return You run so fast, you catch on fire You just gotta burn CHORUS Goin' southbound Follow that sound Long line of cars just a movin' out of time You 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 Reapint the car, change your license plate How you 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 CHORUS Big yellow moon hangin' low in the sky Sun'll rise soon, but nobody knows why And we'll be waitin' so long, Wait so long We'll all be waitin' 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 anthill Haaven'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 CHORUS -------------------------------------------------------
