Beat Farmers - Death Train lyrics

rate me

The old bums sat around by a fire, spoon and match

While the rain played its music on their tar paper shacks

I been waitin' on a ticket to ride on the rusted rails

Their pain fades away as their faces turn pale

Well, Georgie rolled up the shirtsleeves to his arm

Showed the laces that he'd been to, he'd never left the farm

Once you get on it's so hard to get off

It's just full speed ahead as we ride off in the dark

So come along and ride on that old death train

Out of needles we'll embark on a well traveled vein

The rats got off as the bums got on

If the tracks are fadin', we'll be in hell by dawn

So give me a breath of your last cigarette

As we travel the world over goin' deeper in debt

The telegraph poles ae the cross that marks the grave

And the sound of the guitar is the only sound that saves

So come along and ride on that old death train

Out of needles we'll embark on a well traveled vein

The rats got off as the bums got on

If the tracks are fadin', we'll be in hell by dawn
