Been in this train before sleeping
With my head between my knees
Got a few smokes if you got a drink for me
Don't hold your breath for a new life
You're still turning blue over the last
You'll get dizzy thinking about the change too fast
It's a hard ride to heaven
On this line
It seems it's what we do
What we've found
Lay your left face on her cold steel brace
Pretend it's the girl left behind
And I'll stay right here with my good right ear
There ain't nothing left but time
Watching the towns roll by
Does she even know that you're gone?
But she prayed and you wouldn't stay too long
Straight dark hair and black eyes
She would keep you under her coat
Her cold lashes are lashes on warm soul
On this cold ride to heaven
On this line
It seems it's what we do
What we've found
Lay your left face on her cold steel brace
Pretend it's the girl left behind
And I'll stay right here with my good right ear
There ain't nothing left but time
Yeah
On this train before sleeping
With my tail between my feet
Got a few bad jokes if you got a smoke for me
There ain't nothing worse than tossing
All your coins into one purse
Empty hands won't stand to be the first
On this hard ride to heaven
On this line
It seems it's what we do
What we've found
Lay your left face on her cold steel brace
Pretend it's the girl left behind
And I'll stay right here with my good right ear
There ain't nothing left but time
Lay your left face on her cold steel brace
Pretend it's the girl left behind
And I'll stay right here with my good right ear
There ain't nothing left but time
