Blue Train
Blue Train
I just had to go where no one knew me
I only shaved at high tide and howled to the wolves
but I may not return from the house of fiction
the memory of you and my hair sweeps the dust
it's the last train to Memphis, the blue train of desire
my dream foretold me you're the one
when the moon is just like murder
someone said beauty will save the world
And then you're married and the bride wore black
beat of your heart and I like it like that
when I'm humming in your vestibule
when my heart beats like a hammer and it's pounding for you
here's to the hurt and the humiliated
let's drink to the injured and torn
we're on a rock of enchantments dreaming
vain dreams that disappear like smoke
you're a thousand miles away from me, you're a thousand miles away
and it's 5 minutes to midnight
trouble child, worried in mind
cutthroats and widowed souls, turn and spin again
here repetition passed off as invention
the enemy that pretends to be a friend
serpents whisper in my ear, politics is all I hear
intoxication is all we ever required
some people look at the world and see only loot
you're a thousand miles away from me, you're a thousand miles away
and it's 5 minutes to midnight
I just had to go where no one knew me
I only shaved at high tide and howled to the wolves
but I may not return from the house of fiction
the memory of you and my hair sweeps the dust
it's the last train to Memphis, the blue train of desire
my dream foretold me you're the one
when the moon is just like murder
someone said beauty will save the world
And then you're married and the bride wore black
beat of your heart and I like it like that
when I'm humming in your vestibule
when my heart beats like a hammer and it's pounding for you
here's to the hurt and the humiliated
let's drink to the injured and torn
we're on a rock of enchantments dreaming
vain dreams that disappear like smoke
you're a thousand miles away from me, you're a thousand miles away
and it's 5 minutes to midnight
trouble child, worried in mind
cutthroats and widowed souls, turn and spin again
here repetition passed off as invention
the enemy that pretends to be a friend
serpents whisper in my ear, politics is all I hear
intoxication is all we ever required
some people look at the world and see only loot
you're a thousand miles away from me, you're a thousand miles away
and it's 5 minutes to midnight
