Heard a Train

Here comes that cherry babe
Not knowing I'm going to be around it all the same
Here comes that cherry babe
All things faded to their own way, oh-oh

You make this engine roar, keep it running
They call my brother, Jesus of nothing
I haven't ever gone back again
Heard it train everywhere I've been

Name's Tommy and Overcoat
First son of an overdose
Living on his wage of sin
You're only masses suffering

Anyone here could have touched me
A touch is only rain
Somebody said that they miss me
You had words I couldn't say
They all called you the day when I left already

Forgive me, father, for being hungry
So long, sister, I'm lean and ugly
Dreams drip down to a ragged memory
I see your face everywhere they send me

Never coming this way again
I heard it train everywhere I've been
There's no such thing as an easy way down
Or some walking on holy ground

Anyone here could have touched me
A touch is only rain
Somebody said that they miss me
You had words I couldn't say
They all called you the day when I left already

This engine, keep it running
Your master is suffering
I'm never coming this way again
I heard it train everywhere I've been

Looking around on underground
Sleepwalking and easy down
Early mail and you leave it in
Living on his wage of sin

Anyone here could have touched me
A touch is only rain
Somebody said that they miss me
You had words I couldn't say
They all called you the day when I left already

You shouldn't have walked with me, love
You know my eyes don't see
Nothing but this strange and perfect dream
We're all things alone, like the dog I am
Just one more ride, just one more chance
Here comes that cherry babe
