Is this some sort of reverie for the

One woman Jan and Dean heading for the crash?

Is she half who she ought to be

Or a overdue prodigy

Whose unsolicited view of your present's confused with her past?

At a table by the door

Of my moment but she can't sit still,

And when I crash upon the floor she'll come across the stage

and finish out the bill,

She throws one switch and all trains are in space

What she lays on those tracks you can't ever erase
In ca[F]re of his contrap[Bb]tion mad camp hill rail [Gm]operator woman, [C]yeah         [F]                   [Bb]                       [F]                           [Bb]                                [C]

[Dm]She's made the bed thre[Bb]e times today          [F]

Each a masterpiece in its own way and takes his name in vain

From this vantage point she is making her plans

Kiss good-bye to this your century map

She calls her future back ,takes his wine from the rack

He wants a glass of water but she sweetly mouths her no

Then like an arrow she's let go, Arcing from he poison beau

Everything is better the boss has made a cameo

She has seen the infidel army like a prince of old

PRIVATE RUTH

She used to love me and that was such an obstacle

Running around in the bad hand-me-downs of someone else's girl

She's pulling my name and making a face

As if to say all that you've been has been erased

Private Ruth, you hate

She's tired of loving the ones she knows she's better than

Moving the men on a chessboard full of all her so called friends

Or maybe she just wants me a drone

Proclaiming edicts from the queen bee in her cone

Private Ruth, you hate

VEGETABLE ROW

[G]I hear when you talk that[D] not much goes on           [C]
[G]And now I think you might be th[D]e dark right before my dawn [C]
[G]And the clouds have made a fissure I've arr[Gsus4]anged that for you mister                        [C]
[C]So that you can go[C/B] ahead and prematurely star[C/A]t the process of preserving

You look so afraid and I can see why

You just turned your back on a very dangerous guy

And the bells ring with a vengeance as we witness your ascension

To a land where they can things better than all the "Bells of Rhymny"

On vegetable row, vegetable row. On vegetable row, vegetable row

Think of us in your new haunt

They must have let classes out early those days

And I bet you were the funniest clown at the front of the hip parade

Now you shadows swirl around us take us back to where you found us

Crawl back underneath you couch and tell us things are a little bit skewed

On vegetable row, vegetable row. On vegetable row, vegetable row

I'm thinking of a place where times your boss

And now you just can't wait

To turn in your only key, pass your baton to me,

Sell yourself penny cheap and never stop to total up the cost

Some people give up on the third or fourth try

And some can make a career out of just trying to say good-bye

They've been holding your place someone's here to fill that space

And it's a mighty act of grace you won't have me around

To check you vital signs  On vegetable row...  Think of us in your new haunt
