Gone Dead Train Songtext

Nitzsche-Titelman

It′s a gone dead train
Yes, it's a gone dead train

My engine was pumpin′ steam
And I was grindin' at you hard and fast
Burnin' down the rails, tryin′ to heat the way
Haulin′ ass and ridin' up the track
And I laughed at the conductor who was tellin′ me my coal
It would never last

But then the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
Ain't no empty cellar
Like a gone dead train


Once was at a time when I could
Mama shave ′em dry
And raise a fever ice-down chill
Waitin' at the station
With a heavy loaded sack
Savin′ up and holdin' just to spill
Shootin' my supply through my demon′s eye
Instead of holdin′ my time, I hope I will

But then the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
There ain't no empty cellar
Needs a gone dead train

Yes it′s a gone dead train
I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now
It′s a gone dead train
Yes it's a gone dead train
I′m gonna teach it to learn now, now
It's a gone dead train
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to learn

There ain't no easy day
When your daily run′s a downhill pull
And there ain′t no easy way
Wishin' for some jelly roll
There ain′t no switch been made
To make your juicy lemon find
A spring to run a dry well full


But then the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
Ain't no empty cellar
Needs a gone dead train

Yes it′s a gone dead train
I'm gonna teach it to learn
You know it′s a gone dead train
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn
It's a gone dead train
It's a gone dead train, you gotta learn
It′s a gone dead train
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn.
