Ghost Train

Took the cannon ball down to the ocean Across the desert from the sea, the shining sea I rode a ladder that climbed 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 where 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've got nowhere else to go "How do you do?" She said, "Hey, how do you do?" Hey I took the cannonball down to the ocean Watch 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?" Hey, how do you do? She said, "Hey, how do you do?"
