The Magnetic Fields - Railroad Boy lyrics

rate me

I will not sing your ugly song

I won't put on your ugly play

I cannot join your ugly priesthood

And if I die I won't come home

Railroad boy of mine...

I bought you crows and candelabra

And I went moth-eating with you

I held you down when you had seizures

And read to you at bedtime

Railroad boy of mine...

We went to see a beaver dam

We went to see a coral reef

But life is more than going to see things

And that's too bad

Railroad boy of mine

Railroad boy of mine...
