Going to Wisconsin

John Darnielle

[Intro: spoken sample]
Oh yeah, the...

[Verse 1]
There was the sound of a lake boiling over
On that day
Everyone said just to sit still
But the thickening air got in my way
So the hooks been baited now
Yeah, the cheese is on the water
Yeah, all the water's been cleansed of all impurities
But now it really doesn't matter
Let's go! let's go!

[Refrain]
Wisconsin bound
Wisconsin bound
Wisconsin bound
Yeah, Wisconsin bound

[Verse 2]
The bottom of the boat was a hot-plate come alive
But the boat wasn't real, and this is how I feel:
You don't know where you are, until you arrive
And the frogs sang out from the distant banks
And you say you need me in California
But, no thanks!

[Refrain]
Wisconsin bound
Wisconsin bound
Wisconsin bound
Yeah, Wisconsin bound

[Outro]
Let's go!
