Swervedriver - Last Train To Satansville lyrics

rate me

You look like you've been losin' sleep

Said a stranger on a train

I fixed him with an ice cold stare and said

I've been havin' those dreams again

In one dream there's this girl I love

And we dance every wakin' breath

And in the other they've thrown me in a cell

And they're tryin' me for her death

I'm only young and young in love

As I hold that girl today

But I'm old and tired and in the cell

And I've nigh on withered away

Y'see my baby' gone away too long

And I'm chokin' back the tears

Disheveled star in a burnt out bar

And I'm talkin' in my drink

She promised me the world and more

How could she do this to me?

And now mine's tumblin' down around

But at least my eyes can see

And those stars in the sky are for me

So as this fagged-out tinsel town

Waves so-long to the sun

I lay here calmly on my bed

And the trigger of my gun

And should that no good woman show up

Dancin' from a dream

I'll squeeze it twice and not think twice

And relish every scream
