I hear when you talk that not much goes on And now I think you might be the dark right before my dawn And the clouds have made a fissure I've arranged that for you mister So that you can go ahead and prematurely start 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 time's 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 goodbye 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, vegetable row On vegetable row, vegetable row Think of us in your new Think of us in your new haunt
