On the bridge out of Hammond See them brake lights burning feel my motor turnin On the bridge out of Hammond See the big city moon See how it close comes (x2) Watch my wiper blades pound it like a drum On the bridge out of Hammond (x2) Think about what's darkening my life (x2) See the light of the afterworld shining on the ruins
It's the light of nowhere else burning to the west See its sulphery shine (x2) From the bridge out of Hammond (x2) See the big city moon (x3) Between the radio towers Between the big diesel rigs In the Midwest's witching hour I watch the whole town eclipse From the bridge out of Hammond (x4)
