Stephin Merritt - Railroad Boy lyrics

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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] x2
