Who Stole the Signpost?

Lyrics
I came out here to find Harry Partch I drive the back roads Mile markers ticking by All the way from Barstow To Big Rock Candy Mountain Cigarettes grow on trees Whiskey and soda bubble from rocks I drove in vain I look to see the shadow Of Harry's face In the open doors Of the one graffiti free box car In a mile long freight train Parked in the Mojave I looked in vain South of San Clemente I search the coast road For the remains of a one pump diner Where the honking horn Sounds like a Zymo-Xyl Harry's ghost is summoned to serve 5¢ gasoline I sеarched in vain On a scrub hill I study the thump-thump-thumping Of the last lost oil rig In Los Angеles I listen for the trace of a Chromelodeon In the tinnitus of LAX It must be drowned Folks out here Grind the parochial underfoot And salt the ground Where Artifice is King The Abstract is the Thing Who stole the signpost From everywhere?
