Ohthe benches were stained with tears and perspiration The birdies were flying from tree to tree. There was little to saythere was no conversation As I stepped to the stage to pick up my degree. And the locusts sang off in the distance Yeahthe locusts sang such a sweet melody. Ohthe locusts sang off in the distance Yeahthe locusts sang and they were singing for me. I glanced into the chamber where the judges were talking Darkness was everywhereit smelled like a tomb. I was ready to leaveI was already walkin But the next time I looked there was light in the room. And the locusts sangyeahit give me a chill Ohthe locusts sang such a sweet melody. Ohthe locusts sang their high whining trill Yeahthe locusts sang and they were singing for me. Outside of the gates the trucks were unloadin The weather was hota-nearly 90 degrees. The man standin next to mehis head was exploding WellI was prayin the pieces wouldn t fall on me. Yeahthe locusts sang off in the distance Yeahthe locusts sang such a sweet melody. Ohthe locusts sang off in the distance And the locusts sang and they were singing for me. I put down my robepicked up my diploma Took hold of my sweetheart and away we did drive Straight for the hillsthe black hills of Dakota Sure was glad to get out of there alive. And the locusts sangwellit give me a chill Yeahthe locusts sang such a sweet melody. And the locusts sang with a high whinin trill Yeahthe locusts sang and they was singing for me Singing for mewellsinging for me. |
