Here comes a ringing testimonial

Here comes the saddest song you've ever heard

From somewhere else, somewhere good

In a warehouse painted red



Around my house, around my table

And I will testify, testify when I'm able.



Everybody in this town is sleeping

Little Chalkie's gone out west to score

Passing by the metho's gate she dropped something

'Cos our town doesn't stand there anymore



And my town, it is a teacher

All trucks and beers and memories spread out on the road

And my town is a leader of children

To where caution is a long wide load

Long wide load.



You love me good, you work me hard

Three letters and a smile on a little white card

Oh yay, oh yay, oh there you lay

Lying in the road on Debt Collectors day.
