The Garfield El

The Garfield El
 Faster, hammers
 Faster, hammers
 Churn and turn into my late train to my lost love
 Ring away today, stick, bruise into my felt, or so I felt
 I found a skeleton tooth in the junk drawer
 And I mean to open the folding green and white door
 And take a late train to my lost love.
 Faster, hammers!
 Faster, hammers!
 Listen to those dead pianos, pins stuck in their hearts
 Clang tap bell pedal down dead wood chipped and dull dark steel
 Rattling and chattering and chilly on a damp November afternoon
 On tracks one and two
 And twelve and thirteen
 On that ribbon spinning and computer colors.
 Tick tacks on round wire
 Spun steel spark on three rail thin lines
 See a minor, a little girl
 Ask if she would like for instance some fudge
 But I didn't budge, and said I didn't care
 I wanted to sit, and I wanted to stare
 Spin steel, tick tack on three little strings made three little rails made one note clunk
 Three rails squeaking and sputtering down the west side
 I found a skeleton tooth in the junk drawer and I mean to open the folding green and white door
 And take a late train to my lost love
 Faster, hammers!
 Faster, hammers!
 Chatter down the tracks, you thumb tack smiley skull teeth
 Ticking five dollar throwaway pianos past
 A late train to my lost love
 Listen to those dead pianos, pins stuck in their hearts
 Clang tap bell pedal down dead wood chipped and dull dark steel
 Rattling and chattering and chilly on a damp November afternoon
 On tracks one and two
 And twelve and thirteen
 On that ribbon spinning and computer colors.
 Tick tacks on round wire
 Spun steel spark on three rail thin lines
 Late, by act of Congress and blue all the way to Forest Park,
 And this ribbon spinning and computer color
 Into a public transport for everyone to hear and get on track
 And back to my lost love
 Faster, hammers!
 Faster, hammers!
 We're almost there
 Faster, hammers!
 We're almost there
 I'd like to tell you a story, kids
 but instead I'll change the subject
 Listen to this tune, it sounds like a condolence card
 Bought at the last minute for someone you can't stand
 For someone you never liked
 And isn't it cute
 La la la...
 Listen to this tune I'm playing now, kids
 Does it seem sad
 Does it remind you of when
