[length: 05:11]
[00:18.35]When the iceberg hit
[00:22.45]Oh, they must have known
[00:27.10]God moves on the water
[00:31.60]Like Casey Jones
[00:36.53]So I walked downtown
[00:40.98]On my telephone
[00:45.95]And took a lazy turn
[00:50.02]Through the red-eye zone
[00:59.21]It was a five-band bill
[01:05.02]A two-dollar show
[01:08.29]I saw the van out in front
[01:13.28]From Idaho
[01:18.05]And the girl passed out
[01:23.04]In the backseat trash
[01:27.41]There was no way they’d make
[01:31.55]Even a half a tank of gas
[01:41.70]They looked sick and stoned
[01:46.28]And strangely dressed
[01:51.26]No one showed
[01:55.39]From the local press
[02:00.84]But I watched them walk
[02:05.08]Through the bottom land
[02:09.53]And I wished I played
[02:13.75]In a rock and roll band
[02:21.12]
[02:47.76]Hey, hey
[02:58.51]It was the fourteenth day of April
[03:07.95]
[03:20.65]Well, they closed it down
[03:24.96]With the sails in rags
[03:29.54]And they swept up the fags
[03:34.28]And the local rags
[03:39.44]Threw the plastic cups
[03:44.20]In the plastic bags
[03:47.82]And the cooks cleaned the kitchen
[03:53.34]With the staggers and the jags
[04:03.07]
[04:22.19]Ruination day
[04:27.05]And the sky was red
[04:31.64]I went back to work
[04:37.04]And back to bed
[04:41.68]And the iceberg broke
[04:46.06]And the Okies fled
[04:50.35]And the Great Emancipator
[04:55.17]Took a bullet in the back of the head
[05:03.32]
