Şarkı sözleri

[Chorus]
I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S
Ring the bell and call or write us
I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S
Can you call the Captain Clitus?
Who will save it?
Logan, Grant, and Ronald Reagan
Dedicate it?
In the grave with Xylophagan
Who will praise it?
Do you know the ghost community?
Commemorate it for you?
Sound the horn, address the city
[Verse 1]
We are awakened with the ax
Night of the living dead at last
They have begun to shake the dirt
Wiping their shoulders from the earth
I know, I know the nations past
I know, I know they rust at last
They tremble with the nervous thought
Of having been, at last, forgot
[Chorus]
I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S
Ring the bell and call or write us
I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S
Can you call the Captain Clitus?
Who will save it?
B-U-D-A, Caledonia
Dedicate it?
S-E-C-O-R, Magnolia
Who will praise it?
B-I-R-D-S, and Kankakees
Commemorate it for you?
Evansville and Parker City
[Verse 2]
Speaking their names, they shake the flag
Waking the earth, it lifts and lags
We see a thousand rooms to rest
Helping us taste the bite of death
I know, I know my time is passed
I'm not so young, I'm not so fast
I tremble with the nervous thought
Of having been, at last, forgot
[Chorus]
I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S
Ring the bell and call or write us
I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S
Can you call the Captain Clitus?
Who will save it?
Comer and Potato Peelers
Dedicate it?
G-R-E-E-N Ridge, Reeders
Who will praise it?
M-C-V-E-Y, and Horace
Commemorate it for you?
E-N-O-S, start the chorus
[Chorus]
Who will save it?
Corn and farms and tombs in Lemmon
Sailor Springs and all things feminine
Centerville and Old Metropolis
Shawneetown, you trade and topple us
I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S
Hold your tongue and don't divide us
I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S
Land of God, you hold and guide us
