I finally found the take on “Weekend in Western Illinois” that has these alternate lyrics:

Yeah, they howl as though the world were ending

They howl as though there were something worth defending

Don’t know if that was deliberate, but for me this rivals “let the silence that’s our trademark make its graceful presence felt” in “Color in Your Cheeks” as far as alternate lyrics go. It makes me ridiculously happy.
