I took the cannon ball down to the ocean
  across the desert from the sea to shining sea
  I rode a ladder that climbed across the nation
  50 million feet of earth between the buried and me
  "How do you do?"
  She said "Hey, how do you do?"
  She buys a ticket cause it's cold were she comes from
  she climbs aboard because she's scared of getting older in the snow
  love is a ghost train through the darkness
  hold on to me darling I got no place to go
  "How do you do?"
  She said "Hey, how do you do?"
  I took the cannonball down to the ocean
  watch the diesel disappear beneath the tumbling waves
  love is a ghost train howling on the radio
  "Remember everything" She said "When only memory Remains"
  "how do you do?"
  She said "Hey, how do you do?"
