I took the cannonball down to the ocean
Across the desert from the sea to shining sea
I rode a ladder that climbed across the nation
Fifty million feet of earth between the buried and me
"Well, how do you do?"
She said "hey, how do you do?"
She buys a ticket, 'cause it's cold where she comes from
And she climbs aboard, 'cause she's scared of getting older in the snow
Love is a ghost train, just rumbling through the darkness
Oh, just hold on to me, darling, I got nowhere else to go
"Well, how do you do?"
She said "hey, how do you do?"
Well, isn't everyone gone?
I took the cannonball down to the ocean
Then watched the diesel disappear beneath the tumbling waves
But love is a ghost train howling on the radio
"Remember everything", she said, "'cause sometimes, just a memory remains"
"Well how, how do you do?"
She said "hey, how do you do?"
"Hey, how do you do?"
She said "hey, how do you do?"
