Those SOBs are constantly tapping on my shell and it's driving me nuts.

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my shell
I walked out of an ostrich farm, couldn't stand the smell
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night
There I was in Picacho, crossing Interstate 10
And I was thinkin' to myself, "They'll never catch me again"
Then Sgt. Steven Sekrecki, he showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say:
"Welcome to the Ostrich Casa Grande
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely pace
Plenty of room at the Ostrich Casa Grande
Any time of year (any time of year)
You can find it here"

They put the Chinese mystery snails on his track and he was found four years later.
