I took the cannonball down to the ocean
Across the desert from sea to shining sea
I rode a ladder that climbs across the nation
Fifty 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, How do you do?
I took the cannonball down to the ocean
Watched 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?
