Lyrics
I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S Ring the bell and call or write us I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S Can you call the Captain Clitus? Logan, Grant, and Ronald Reagan In the grave with Xylophagan Do you know the ghost community? Sound the horn, address the city We are awakened with the axe Night of the Living Dead at last They have begun to shake the dirt Wiping their shoulders from the Earth I know, I know the nations past I know, I know they rust at last They tremble with the nervous thought Of having been, at last, forgot I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S Ring the bell and call or write us I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S Can you call the Captain Clitus? B-U-D-A Caledonia S-E-C-O-R Magnolia B-I-R-D-S And Kankakee Evansville and Parker City Speaking their names, they shake the flag Waking the earth, it lifts and lags We see a thousand rooms to rest Helping us taste the bite of death I know, I know my time has passed I'm not so young, I'm not so fast I tremble with the nervous thought Of having been, at last, forgot I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S Ring the bell and call or write us I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S Can you call the Captain Clitus? Comer and Potato Peelers G-R-E-E-N Ridge Reeders M-C-V-E-Y And Horace E-N-O-S Start the chorus Corn and farms and tombs in Lemmon Sailor Springs and all things feminine Centerville and Old Metropolis Shawneetown, you trade and topple us I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S Hold your tongue and don't divide us I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S Land of God, you hold and guide us
