Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Benson, Arizona
Clam Chowder sang a third verse to the song. Their version was on one of their early albums - "Special Order", and it is out of print. Unfortunately, the song has not been included on their recent CDs that were compilations from their earliest albums. A real pity.

Anyway, here is the third verse, transcribed from Clam Chowder's version:

Now the seasons spin on by
Like seconds on this ship
And I'll take another pull
From the flask that's at my hip
The might-have-beens and the never-weres
Can drive a man insane
So I think I'll stay out in the void
'Cause Benson's not the same

(Chorus)
