Stan Ridgway - Goin' Southbound lyrics

Tell not a word that you heard it here But there's a big truck waitin' tonight at the pier Comin' in on an east-bound boat Now, don't be late for delivery It's a strange weight from an exotic locale Don't worry about the cops, 'cause they're in on it, pal Just pick it up no later than tonight at three o'clock And bring it to the warehouse No one left to save you Nobody will return You run so fast, you catch on fire You've just gotta burn Yeah Chorus: Goin' southbound Follow that sound Long line of cars Just a-movin' out of town You've got this job But you don't know how And everybody does What nobody will allow Full moon shines like a big cue ball Someone fishin' on the pier, might as well stall Repaint the car, change your license plate How ya spell relief? must be somethin' that you ate All this is a secret As common as that dirt We'll rely on your expert eye Here, put this in your shirt Yeah Chorus repeat x2 And we'll all be waiting so long Wait so long We'll all be waiting so long Wait so long, wait so long Now if you get caught, don't tell 'em about me The last one who did, well, we tied him to a tree Out in the high desert, by an ant hill Haven't been back there since All this is a secret As common as that dirt We'll rely on your expert eye Here, put this in your shirt Yeah Chorus repeat x2 Goin' southbound... We're goin' southbound... We're goin' southbound... We're goin' southbound...
