The Ballad of Dicky Pferd

The Ballad of Dicky Pferd - Dirk Hamilton

Clever, ever curious creatures called the human race

The guy who named you used the eyes stuck in his face

We build up high, we dig down low, we hit the moon

Let the bedrock crack, the cement crash and power back

Let the steel railroad track bend and break

And let the ocean overtake

And finally lookin' up to watch the mountain blowin' up
Oh, let the water flow
Let it flow, let it flow
And let the lava flow

Dicky sat with Will on the night of the day to come
With his head on fire he screamed out "Something must be done"
"There must be someway out or someone who takes calls"
But Will looked straight ahead with a fly on his eyeball

What could Dicky do?
He simply split in two
What could Dicky do?
He simply split in two

Stuck in a outhouse on a fist rested a chin
When through the thumbnail hole he saw the tide was movin' in
So he moved the walls a good ten feet as far as he could go
Then he grabbed himself a shovel and he dug another hole

What could Dicky do?
He simply split in two
What could Dicky do?
He simply split in two

Do not go gentle gentleman down into that good night
Cuz' it's a struggle and it is your turn to fight
You are no mercenary loadin' up to score
Have pride you are the losin' side of your
Private first world war

And let the bedrock crack, the cement crash
The steel rail bend and break

And let the valley open up and let the ocean overtake
And finally lookin' up to watch your world get swallowed up.
