I took the cannon ball down to the ocean
Across the desert from sea to shining sea
I rode a ladder that climbed across the nation
50 million feet of earth between the buried and me
"Oh! 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
Because 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
"Oh! How do you do?"
She said, "Hey, how do you do?"
But isn't everyone, oh
I took the cannonball down to the ocean
And I watch the diesel, disappear beneath the tumbling waves
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?"
