[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
