[Verse 1]
When the iceberg hit, oh, they must have known
That God moves on the water like Casey Jones
So I walked downtown on my telephone
And took a lazy turn through the red-eye zone
[Verse 2]
It was a five-band bill, a two dollar show
I saw the van out in front from Idaho
And the girl passed out in the backseat trash
And there was no way they'd make even a half a tank of gas
[Verse 3]
They looked sick and stoned and strangely dressed
No one showed from the local press
But I watched 'em walk through the bottom land
And I wished I played in a rock 'n' roll band
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Hey, hey
It was the fourteenth day of April
[Verse 4]
Then they closed it down with the sails and rags
And they swept up the fags and the local rags
And threw the plastic cups into plastic bags
And the cooks cleaned the kitchen with the staggers and the jags
When the iceberg hit, oh, they must have known
That God moves on the water like Casey Jones
So I walked downtown on my telephone
And took a lazy turn through the red-eye zone
[Verse 2]
It was a five-band bill, a two dollar show
I saw the van out in front from Idaho
And the girl passed out in the backseat trash
And there was no way they'd make even a half a tank of gas
[Verse 3]
They looked sick and stoned and strangely dressed
No one showed from the local press
But I watched 'em walk through the bottom land
And I wished I played in a rock 'n' roll band
