lyrics

And now, the next chapter in the continuing saga of Steel Bridge Story Hour, we now present “Gleaming Steel”

Bosoms
Gleaming steel
It was a hot summer afternoon in southern Door County
Barreling across steel bridge I was in my 1977 yellow VW Beetle
Gleaming steel
At 25 mile an hour
Barreling around corner on other side of street of said bridge was a FedEx truck
With the most beautiful woman driver I ever saw (wouza / whistle / auga)
Looking to dash for freedom over the v-cut of her FedEx uniform were these beautiful buxom bosoms
Oh yeah
Distracted by said bosoms in one eye, and the gleaming steel bridge in the other
Gleaming steel
We came together, bumpers and wheels, bridges and water, bosoms and bubbles
Crashing and crushing
With my dying breath as the bubbles were released from my lungs
I reached across and went for the old
HONK HONK
Buxom bosoms diving for underwater freedom
Seeing you now
I love the way you look
Breathless in ghost form
You look so peaceful, it’s like you were sleeping
I’ve never seen such a beautiful sight
I like all of your parts, in fact
It’s you and me for eternity
I get to be with you forever?
We can be lovers, lovers in the afterlife
So I come to America, very long time
And I’m so thankful, and thankful for dying on gleaming steel bridge
With my beautiful wife
Gleaming steel
My wife who I can reach, but never touch
HONK HONK
It’s you and me for eternity
What? No touching
Now we can be lovers, lovers in the afterlife
But water spirits
Now we can be lovers, lovers in the afterlife
I love this afterlife!
HONK HONK
