Fallin' Ditch lyrics

[Intro: Captain Beefheart & Mark Boston]

Now, we won't have to worry

'bout Rockette Morton with any of those girls

Rockette Morton takes off again into the wind

What do you run on, Rockette Morton?

(Say beans)

I run on beans, I run on laser beans

[Verse 1]

When I get lonesome, the wind begin to moan

When I trip, fallin' ditch

Somebody wanna' throw the dirt right down

When I feel like dying the sun come out

Stole my fear 'n gone

Who's afraid of the spirit with the blues-fer-bones?

Who's afraid of the fallin' ditch?

[Refrain]

Fallin' ditch ain't gonna get my bones

[Verse 2]

How's that for the spirit?

How's that for the things?

It ain't my fault the thing's gone wrong

Oh when I'm smilin' my face wrinkles up real warm

Oh when I'm frownin' things just turn to stone

[Refrain]

Fallin' ditch ain't gonna get my bones

Oh when I get lonesome the wind begin to moan

Fallin' ditch ain't gonna get my bones
