[length: 05:10]
[00:18.93]When the iceberg hit
[00:22.18]Oh they must have known
[00:26.83]That God moves on the water
[00:31.10]Like Casey Jones
[00:36.23]So I walked downtown
[00:40.94]On my telephone
[00:45.49]And took a lazy turn
[00:50.07]Through the red eye zone
[00:59.75]It was a five band bill
[01:03.79]A two dollar show
[01:08.53]I saw the van out in front
[01:12.78]From Idaho
[01:17.87]And the girl passed out
[01:22.26]In the back seat trash
[01:27.34]There was no way they’d make
[01:31.45]Even a half a tank of gas
[01:41.55]They looked sick and stoned
[01:46.00]And strangely dressed
[01:50.47]And no one showed
[01:54.77]From the local press
[02:00.22]But I watched them walk
[02:04.78]Through the bottom land
[02:09.46]And I wished I played
[02:13.92]In a rock and roll band
[02:48.24]Hey hey
[02:58.62]It was the 14th day of April
[03:21.08]Well they closed it down
[03:24.99]With their sails in rags
[03:29.19]And they swept up the fags
[03:34.49]And the local rags
[03:39.73]And threw the plastic cups
[03:44.24]Into plastic bags
[03:48.18]And the cooks cleaned the kitchen
[03:52.66]With the staggers and the jags
[04:22.45]Ruination day
[04:26.91]And the sky was red
[04:31.50]I went back to work
[04:36.73]And back to bed
[04:40.98]And the iceberg broke
[04:45.65]And the Okies fled
[04:50.13]And the Great Emancipator
[04:55.22]Took a bullet in the back of the head
