I took the cannon ball down to the ocean

Across the desert from the sea to 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 were she comes from

She climbs aboard because she's scared of getting older in the snow

Love is a ghost train through the darkness

Hold on to me darling I got no place to go

"How do you do?"

She said "hey, how do you do?"

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?"
