Stan Ridgway - Snaketrain lyrics

rate me

Comin' into Southbend, headed towards the graveyard shift

Blockin' off the fallen fences there with my hardware grip

Watchin' out and waitin' for a signal seen

That could level out the quiet side

And if you say you're lonely

I'm the one you'll find there on the side

Your one and only

And you will know when this deed has died

I was chasin' a ghost––pale and white

And hard to see

The boys in blue from peculiar school

Are hangin' out in the dark and they're lookin' for me

And if you say you're lonely

I'm the one you'll find there on the run

Your one and only

And you will know when this deed is done

Chorus:

Somebody is walkin' away

While everybody's ridin' on the snaketrain

Somebody is walkin' away

While everybody's ridin' on the snaketrain

Snaketrain

Remember how the wind would blow

And how warm the sun would feel

If you say you were lonely

And you can't decide what's fair is fair

You're dreaming only

And I will try and catch you there

Chorus repeat x2
