32 Footsteps

            32 footsteps leading to the room where the paint doesn't want to dry
            32 footsteps running down the road where the dirt reaches the sky
            32 feathers in my brand new Indian headdress
            32 new moons shining in 32 skies
            What's the reason? Why'd she go?
            Where's my baby? I don't know
            32 footsteps, counted them myself, 32 footsteps

            Bing bang bingalong cing cang cingalong
            Ding dang dingalong day
            Fing fang fingalong ging gang gingalong
            Hing hang hingalong hay
            Jing jang jingalong king kang kingalong
            Ling lang lingalong lay
            Ming mang mingalong ning nang ningalong
            Ping pang pingalong pay

            What's the reason? Why'd she go?
            Where's my baby? I don't know
            32 footsteps, counted them myself, 32 footsteps

            32 lies my ears never saw when the floorboards gave way
            32 walls come tumbling down and the night turns to day
            32 infantrymen running in place
            32 boxcars, all of them have your face

            What's the reason? Why'd she leave?
            Don't you know we're on the eve of
            32 footsteps? Counted them myself, 32 footsteps
