lyrics

I’m pulling this train
Through the dust
The engine and transmission
Have gone to rust
Your burdens make
You whine and moan
But this weight fills
My vacant bones

And the rattle of the rails is the only hymn
That still gets under my skin

That Sisyphus
Got nothing on me
I’ll roll this stock
Until I’m free
Grease the rails
With oil and honey
I do this for love
Not for money

And the rattle of the rails is the only hymn
That still gets under my skin

Asked the desert
For a vision
In the distance
Water glistened
Can’t quench my thirst
At any station
The journey is
My destination

And the rattle of the rails is the only hymn
That still gets under my skin
