The train has pulled into the station
It's putting out a poison steam
The cloud is rolling 'cross the platform
It's like you're moving in a fever dream
You can hear the conductor calling
He's calling you by name
But if you take that ticket, friend
You'll never be the same

Don't get on the train, no
Don't get on the train
It ain't going where you want to go
So don't get on the train

Well the dining car is fancy
From the outside looking in
It's all carpet and curtains and brass and gold
Fine ladies and gentlemen
But the driver's got a body of iron
And the head of a crocodile
He'll be chewing on your spiritual innards
From here to the river Nile

Don't get on the train, no
Don't get on the train
It ain't going where you want to go
So don't get on the train

In the first-class carriage there's people
Who look a whole lot like you
They smile when they see you coming
Ain't no favor that they wouldn't do
But they give you rot-gut whiskey
Stewed from the water of graves
That burst their sides when Gabriel blowed his horn
And couldn't find a soul to save

Don't get on the train, no
Don't get on the train
It ain't going where you want to go
So don't get on the train

Well sister I know you need to leave here
And find a place where you can grow
Brother I now that you're seeking
Some people more simpatico
But it's just a one-way journey
On that beast of a machine
You'll be better off taking the backroads down
In the dirt that'll keep you clean

Don't get on the train, no
Don't get on the train
It ain't going where you want to go
So don't get on the train
