Snaketrain lyrics
by Stan Ridgway



Comin' into Southbend headin' towards the graveyard shiftBlockin' off the fallen fences with my hardware gripWatchin' out and waitin' for a signal seenThat could level out the quiet sideAnd if you say you're lonelyI'm the one you'll find there on the sideYour one and onlyAnd you will know when this deed has diedI was chasin' a ghost, pale and whiteAnd hard to seeThe boys in blue from peculiar schoolAre hangin' out in the dark and they're lookin' for meIf you say you're lonelyI'm the one you'll find there on the runYour one and onlyAnd you will know when this deed is doneCHORUSSomebody's walkin' awayWhile everybody's ridin' on the snaketrainSomebody's walkin' away,While everybody's ridin' on the snaketrainRemember when the wind would blowand how warm the sun would feel?If you say you're lonelyAnd you can't decide what's fair is fairYou're dreaming onlyAnd I will try and catch you thereCHORUS--------------------------------------------------
