I keep on bouncing down this railroad track, hoping it will take me back
Praying it will take me back to you
Lord have mercy, God above, it's obvious I'm still in love
These feelings got me reeling, feeling blue

Statues, buildings, cemeteries, life out here is getting scary
Creepy cold and damp, but mostly dark
Whiskey, whimsy, waste and wine, haunt me now most all the time
A candle in my hand but still no spark

It's darker now than once before, church mice marching off to war
Weary from the armor on their fur
Splashing through life's rancid sewer, survivors growing ever fewer
Responding to commands with Sir, yes Sir

They dig a hole and crawl right under, walls of words that fall like thunder
Crashing to the ground now bought and sold
Hiking through a subway station, lights are dim, their once great nation
Lifeless now and frozen in the cold

Shorty pauses, lights a match, whiskers twitch, he starts to scratch
His nose with rapid strokes of his right paw
Down the pipe around the bend, nothingness that never ends
Trudging onward constantly in awe

The sergeant starts to bellow loud, commanding the awaiting crowd
Of tattered soldiers once so proud and brave
He tells them to keep pressing on; this is the dark before the dawn
All those who have been wronged, he plans to save

Armed and dangerous rodents hooting, raising swords, machine guns shooting
Anything that moves and shows its head
Encountering a band of rats riding well trained alley cats
Shorty takes a bullet, and he's dead

Bouncing down this freight train line, covered now in grease and grime
Searching for a chunk of time to spend
Soon I'll drive up to our house, wrap my arms around my spouse
And thank the Lord I'm not a mouse... AMEN
