The Magnetic Fields
Castle Down a Dirt Road
Well, we failed at all the normal ways of doing things
Ways that wouldn't make our parents disown us
All those chemistry degrees just left us ruing things
So we played the numbers fate's dice had thrown us
In a castle down a dirt road
Where the lightning flowed
We were thinking up ways to make things explode
In a castle down a dirt road
Certain technicals prevented us from leaving there
Such that what our parents thought was rendered moot
Our new set of problems centered on conceiving there
Ah, but worse was how to find the offspring cute
In a castle down a dirt road
Where we dreamed in code
There was mass destruction in every newt and toad
In a castle down a dirt road
In a castle down a dirt road
Where a strange wind blowed
One flash of light and then strange things growed
In a castle down a dirt road
