The Handsome Family - Winnebago Skeletons lyrics

There's a fish in my stomach a thousand years old Can't swim a full circle, The water's too cold Burnt out cars in my fingers, Conveyor belts flow, right angles and steam whistles, Nothing can grow A big-antlered deer stepping into the road, A beautiful woman with her head in the stove The skyscrapers crumble heavy with rats The wind's full of beer cans and whiffle ball bats This fish in my stomach wears a full length mink, But his teeth float in sherry in a jar by the sink He's the withered remains of Rin Tin Tin taking his new Cadillac out for a spin The endless sea of traffic lights never make a sound like Ben Franklin's electric kite crashing to the Ground and the Winnebago skeletons beneath this bankrupt town
