Railroad Boy Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

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 

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 

Railroad boy of mine 

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 

Railroad boy of mine 

Railroad boy of mine
