Lyrics:
On an August afternoon
I sipped bourbon and cried
With a friend by the light of the moon
So its hurry! hurry! Step right up
It's a matter of life or death
cry?
Reply
Leaving on a Southern train
Only yesterday you lied
Promises of what I seemed to be
Only watched the time go by
All of these things
(you're blinded by the)
Action! (You need that)
Hollywood (uh, uh, uh, uh)
Oh, it's the lights (you're blinded by the)
Satisfaction (you need that)
Countin the towns flashin by
And a night that's full of soul
With light in my head
With you in my arms
And I know I will be loosened
From
cry
All my love's in vain
And the train left the station
There was two lights on behind
Yeah yeah train left the station
Oh Lord there was two lights
and two for me by tonight
I'll be
Loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain
One more time tonight
I'm
Found my love by the gaswork croft
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town
I heard
Downtown trains, ooooh
They go by,
Oh oh...
Downtown train
Downtown train
Downtown train
Downtown train
You know that I'm bound to fall
Downtown train
You jumped out of an alley
With surprise in your black widow's eyes
I was prepared to be unprepared
Been preparing for lights
I fell right in
Clouds roll by
Reeling is what they say
Or is it just my way?
Wind blows by low light
Side tracked low light
Can't see my tracks your
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill he sounds
Too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low I'm
So lonesome I could cry
I've never seen a night so
The walls are built up stone by stone
The fields divided one-by-one
And the train conductor says
"Take a break, Driver 8, Driver 8, take a break
We're just backroad bad news
Same small town crew
Gettin' gone just to get right
Hidin' out from the blue lights
Buckshot stop signs
Bootleg
pills
On the dresser in my room
My wet brain neighbor cranes
His neck to see
In time, the white lights, a train
Bearing down on me
No escaping
Hey, hey
Taste like sugar, but it's Novocaine
She's grinding teeth
So she can sharpen the pain
White lights, train wreck
[Chorus]
Black lips,
trailers backed up down by the elevators
Train track grain car'll roll in later
Get filled up and head on out in the world
It's harvest time in this
missing smile
What's your position, baby, what's going on?
Why is the light in your eyes nearly gone?
I know everything about this place, or so it
the train, okay, you hear it constantly)
(I think the train is a way to find your way out of this life)
(If you get hit by it)
A couple of kids got hit by
The only two things in life that make it worth livin'
Is guitars that tune good and firm feelin' women
I don't need my name in the marquee lights
The train of Momentum
Join the train
The train of Momentum
Stop
Statue!
Turn on the lights
Use use use
Phone phone phone
Turn on the lights
Turn
Countin the towns flashin by
And a night that's full of soul
With light in my head
With you in my arms
And I know I will be loosened
From
Has got him by the balls
Oh, he picks up Gideons bible
Open at page one
I think God he stole the handle
And the train it won't stop going
No way
the kettle black
Cause the train's all runnin' on the same ole track
Can't feel nothing but your life flyin' by
You got trouble on your hands, trouble on your
struck by lightning twice
Struck by lightning twice
I don't take nobody's advice
I was struck by lightning twice
When the train starts a-coming
You'd
