Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Took the cannonball down to the ocean
Crossed the desert from sea to shining sea
I rode a ladder that climbed across the nation
Fifty million feet of earth between the buried and me
[Chorus]
"How do you do?"
She said, "Hey, how do you do?"
[Verse 2]
She buys a ticket 'cause it's cold where she comes from
She climbs aboard because she's scared of getting older in the snow
Love is a ghost train rumbling through the darkness
Hold on to me, darling, I've got nowhere else to go
[Chorus]
"How do you do?"
She said, "Hey, how do you do?"
Ah, hey, yeah
[Verse 3]
I took the cannonball down to the ocean
And watched the diesel disappear beneath the tumbling waves
Love is a ghost train howling on the radio
"Remember everything," she said, "when only memories remain"
[Chorus]
"How do you do?"
She said, "Hey, how do you do?"
"Hey, how do you do?"
She said, "Hey, how do you do?"
