Big Huge Valley

Well there's a Mr.  Reilly who swears 
  that in Baton Rouge Louisiana, 
  they don't care about, his philosophy 
  he swears that any time in Baton Rouge 
  everything is the same 

  well we stared into the cup, 
  but we could not see the bottom 
  he was drinking muddy water 
  as a river deep 
  a cup a day to curb visibility 
  all those nasty notions go away 

  well had you heard the news 
  about Joan our ex-newspaper girl? 
  they found her swinging from a tree 
  and i know 
  just a week ago, she was beautiful 
  but now now now shes rather vile 
  they found her by the frozen lake, 
  but it wasn't frozen enough to skate 
  and by the look on her face, 
  it must've been awful tempting 
  they found her in her skates 
  she was the coldest cadaver in the state 
  and look at the lake 
  not even the ducks are resting on it
