This Train Revised

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

It's a fish white belly

A lump in the throat

Razor on the wire

Skin and bone

Piss and blood

In a railroad car

100 people

Gypsies queers

And david's star

This train is bound for glory

This train is bound for glory

This train is bound for glory

This train

Measure the bones

Count the face

Pull out the teeth

Do you belong

To the human race

Doctor doctor

Are you unkind

Do you shock the monkeys

Cover our eyes

With clear blue skies

This train is bound for glory

This train is bound for glory

This train is bound for glory now

This train

Here is a dancer

Who has no legs

Here is a teacher

Who has no face

Here is a healer

Who has no hands

Here is a runner

Who has no feet

Here is a thinker

Who has no head

Here is a builder

Who has no back

Here is a writer

Who has no voice

These are the questions

These are the answers

Stacked like wood

This train is bound for glory

This train is bound for glory

This train is bound for glory now

This train

This train is bound for glory

This train gonna carry my mother

This train is bound for glory

This train gonna carry my father

This train is bound for glory now

This train gonna carry my sister

This train

This train gonna carry my brother

(here is a teacher)

[stacked like wood]

This train gonna carry my sister

(here is a healer)

[stacked like wood]

This train gonna carry my brother

(this is a builder)

This train gonna carry my sister

[gypsies queers and david's star]

This train is

This train is bound for glory

These are the questions

Stacked like wood

These are the answers

Here is potential gone for good
