Frippin' at the Frop 'Neath the Rye Patch Dam

Alkaline water, artificial lake.
Sun seared sagebrush. Rattlesnake.

Humboldt River flows from dam to sink.
Scummy water, better not drink.

Swirling wraiths, Son of Sam,
Frippin' at the frop 'neath the Rye Patch Dam.

Return on 80 through the black.
Succubus water... near the track.

Specter eyes grow in looking glass.
Warned by the flashers; at eighty-five they pass.

Swirling wraiths, Son of Sam,
Frippin' at the frop 'neath the Rye Patch Dam.

First range outlines in the night,
Then Winnemucca billboards and city light.

Duc hum ends at The Winnemucca Inn.
Steak and bed, no pokie sin.

Swirling wraiths, Son of Sam,
Frippin' at the frop 'neath the Rye Patch Dam.
