Swamsea Lyrics - Singles - Joanna Newsom

If you want to come on down 

Down with your bones so white 

Watch while the freight trains pound 

Into the wild, wild night 

How I would love to gnaw 

To gnaw on your bones so white 

And watch as the freight trains paw 

Paw at the wild, wild night 

All these ghost towns 

Wreathed in old loam 

Assateague knee-deep in seafoam 

Ho Swansea 

Buttonwillow 

Lagunitas 

Ho Calico 

And all these beastly bungalows 

Stare, distend, like endless toads 

Endlessly hop down the road 

Borne by wind, we southward blow 

And yonder, wild and blue 

The wild blue yonder looms 

'Till we are wracked with rheum 

By roads, by songs entombed 

And all we want to do 

Is chew, and chew, and chew 

Dear one, drive on 

When all we want to do 

Is chew, and chew, and chew 

And if you want to come on down 

Down with your bones so white 

Watch while the freight trains pound 

Into the wild, wild night 

How I would love to gnaw 

To gnaw on your bones so white 

And watch as the freight trains paw 

Paw at the wild, wild night 

Paw at the wild, wild night 

Paw at the wild, wild night
