Railroad Boy

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...
