Lyrics
Get up early feed the chickens
Then go out and take your lickings
Saddle up the bucking broncos
Put the Freighter in the yard
Shovel coal into the fire for the one that you admire
You’ll be building up some steam
Built it won’t get you very far
I’ve been working on a chaingang
Working on my fastball
Trying to find a feeling
Pulling the alarms
I’ve been working every angle
Trying to untangle
I’ve been working on a railroad
I’ve been working on a farm
All these people in their jump suits
Telling lies in little phone booths
Putting children into cages
Keeping secrets in the dark
Now the whole wide world is famished
And it’s just another rampage
Rattle down the canyons
Through the tunnels in our hearts
Now I’ve been looking in the mirror
Hoping I might see you
Way down in Mexico
Walking barefoot in the sand
But I know your gonna come back soon
You’ll flying in a big balloon
I’m hanging upside down
Taking pictures,making plans
