Lyrics:
Rabbit fled, best guess, toward home Fox & Bear toward Yellowstone Walrus, north to the border towns Peacock swayed like a reed on the fence a while (with a stalwart sense of style!) As the policemen’s nets came down Word of the crash had spread fast and spread far From Clark’s Fork to Blackfoot Reservoir More grist for the malady mill Shepherd the Southwest wind “railspikes ripped like the seam of a wineskin” Shepherd the Northwest rain “Brass Hat slept at the helm of that woeful train… Ain’t it an awful shame! And don’t it just break your heart to hear of so much To hear of so much pain?" Casey Jones walked slow to the prison cell His face held hard as a scallop shell CONDUCTOR: “Well, I wish I wished you well But your last friend on Earth now calls From the silent side of the cemetery walls Your great cause to the moths and the rust!” ELEPHANT: [Fanning her ears with a calm in her eyes] “It’s the laws of cause and effect that you criticize But sir, criticize them you must” [Three miles more ‘til Flagstaff Follow behind signs toward Badger Pass Wound like clocks around fretboards Carved out hands in our basswood body guitars - Borrowed guitars (borrowed hands!) I’m clearly not as handsome or caring as what you seem to want But I’d gladly walk you home ‘cause those streets can be dangerous] Shepherd the Southwest wind “railspikes ripped like the seam of a wineskin” Shepherd the Northwest rain “frog switch slipped and that reckless beast is to blame Ain’t it an awful shame! And don’t it just break your heart to hear of so much pain? Ain’t it an awful shame! Don't it just break your heart Don't it just break your heart Don't it break your heart?"
