Nickel Dime

Clutch · Slow Hole To China [2009]

They landed in Manhattan

With rifles and hatchets

Stinking like the living dead

Eatin' local fauna

Like there wasn't a tomorrow

As they fed how it bled, how it bled



Sacajawea is gettin' meager

Nickel dime, nickel dime, nickel dime

It's such a long road that we travel

Nickel dime, nickel dime, nickel dime



Causin' more commotion

With that steam locomotion

On the quiet country mile

Blisters by the fistfuls

'Til the foreman blows the whistle

And drinkin' whiskey all the while



Sacajawea is gettin' meager

Nickel dime, nickel dime, nickel dime

It's such a long road that we travel

Nickel dime, nickel dime



Get up on the chuck wagon

If your feet are draggin'

Get up on the chuck wagon

If your feet are draggin'

Get up on the chuck wagon

If your feet are draggin'-yeah!



Well they landed on Europa

And it's colder than Dakota

But they took the bull by the horns

For the frozen ocean

Foreman has himself the notion

"This ain't nothing we ain't done before!"



Sacajawea is gettin' meager

Nickel dime, nickel dime, nickel dime

It's such a long road that we travel

Nickel dime, nickel dime, nickel dime



Sacajawea is gettin' meager

Nickel dime, nickel dime, nickel dime

It's such a long road that we travel

Nickel dime, nickel dime
