Shutout

Throw off those gimmicks to the boys

Let them send it all up in the air

There is crouching and wailing on stones down here

We must freeze off this ratmosphere

Scraping out noise across nite wires

Runs for the distant cities

There is never a lock in the fall

Down here as the big full pours away

In the shutout

In the shutout

How will we know the great doll

Something attacked the earth last nite

With a kick that man habit eye

Cut the sleep tight boys who dreamed and dreamed

Of a city like the sky

There were faces bobbing in the heat

For some rising from her zone

Moving, hitting, holding on

For the promise to carry us home

In the shutout

In the shutout

Never a lock in the fall

In the shutout

In the shutout

How will we know the great doll
