Duquesne Whistle / Señor (Tales of Yankee Power) / Is Your Love In Vain? / License to Kill (Reprise)
Time that Duquesne whistle blowin'
Blowin' like it's gonna sweep my world away
I'm gonna stop at Carbondale
And keep on goin'
That Duquesne train gonna rock me night and day
You say I'm a gambler
You say I'm a pimp
But I ain't neither one, no, no, no, no
Listen to that Duquesne whistle blowin'
Soundin' like it's on a final run
Listen to that Dusquesne whistle blowin'
Blowin' like she never blowed before
Little blue light blinkin'
And red light glowin'
Blowin' like she's at my chamber door
You smilin' through the fence at me, oh yeah
Just like you always smiled before
Oh, listen to that Duquesne whistle blowin'
Blowin' like she ain't gonna blow no more
Hey
Oh, can't you hear that Duquesne whistle blowin'?
Blowin' like the sky's gonna blow apart
You're the only thing alive that keeps me goin'
You're like a time bomb in my heart
And I can hear that sweet voice steadily a-callin'
Must be the mother of our Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Listen to that Duquesne whistle blowin'
Blowin' like my woman's on board
Senor
Senor
Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Thinking county road, or Armageddon?
Seems like I been down this way before
Is there any truth in that, Senor?
There's a wicked wind still blowin' on that upper deck
There's an iron cross still hanging down from 'round her neck
There's a marching band still playing in that vacant lot
Where she held me in her arms one time
And said, "Forget me not"
Well, the last thing I remember before I stripped and kneeled
Was that trainload of fools bogged down in a magnetic field
A gypsy with a broken flag and a flashin' ring
She says, "Son, this ain't a dream no more
It's the real thing"
Senor
Senor
Let's disconnect these cables
Overturn these tables
This place don't make sense to me no more
Can you tell me what we're waitin' for?
Do you love me?
Or are you just extending goodwill?
Do you need me half as much as you say?
Or are you just feelin' guilt?
I been wrong before, and I know the score
So you won't hear me complain
Are you willing to risk it all?
Or is your love in vain?
Are you so fast you cannot see?
I must have solitude
When I am in the darkness
Why do you intrude?
Do you know my world?
Do you know my kind
Or must I explain?
Will you let me be myself
Or is your love in vain?
Well, I been to the mountain and I've been in the wind
I've been in and out of happiness
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings
But I've never been too impressed
I've been a noisemaker, spiritmaker, heartbreaker, backbreaker
Left no stone unturned
Maybe an actor in a plot, that might be all that you got
Till you're wherever you clearly heard
Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow?
Do you understand my pain?
Are you willin' to risk it all
Or is your love in vain?
Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow?
Do you understand my pain?
Are you willin' to risk it all
Or is your love in vain?
Blowin' like it's gonna sweep my world away
I'm gonna stop at Carbondale
And keep on goin'
That Duquesne train gonna rock me night and day
You say I'm a gambler
You say I'm a pimp
But I ain't neither one, no, no, no, no
