Louisiana Train Wreck Pere Ubu

Down by the riverside the corn is creaking
The moon's on high
Bodies broken
A house on fire
Down by the riverside

I hang my head and tears I start to cry
I see the river
The river's wide
A mile of moonlight
So much to hide
I see the faces
I get the news
I see the water
I read the shoes, they were down by the riverside
The corn is creaking
The moon's on high
Bodies broken
A house on fire
Down by the riverside

Now me and you, we were born to disagree
Out on the highway, it's a mess of a night
Tank car burning with a terrible light
Be the boss
Look here son
You go far
You be the one down by the riverside
The corn is creaking
The moon's on high
Bodies broken
A house on fire
Down by the riverside
