THE TRAIN THAT TAKES ME NOWHERE

[Verse 1]
I’ve just come out of that sorrowful hole
The street is darker than ever before
I washed some dishes for a little bit of money
In my empty pockets, I search for a cigarette to smoke

[Verse 2]
My eyes can barely see the road where I’m walking
I dodge all kinds of obstacles, somehow getting through
My thoughts are guiding me toward a sorrowful destiny
Waiting there for me as I turn the corner

[Verse 3 — Dialogue]
—Hello! How are you? How are you doing?
—You got the money, kid?
For a few grams of oblivion
I hand over that cold hard metal

[Chorus] x2
My train has left, the one that takes me nowhere
Life led me to a station where I can’t see the way out
I wish I could find the door, so I could jump
Before the white powder takes my final breath of life

[Guitar Solo — String Noise + Sustained notes]

[Bridge 1]
My hands are shaking, and I don’t recognize them
They search my arm for a piece of healthy skin
I close my eyes so I don’t lose my mind
And so my life goes by, week after week

[Bridge 2]
The silent neighborhood whispers the names
Of those who watched them leave in silence
A mother with wandering eyes looks out through the window
The moon, a silent witness in the fading light,
Watches the days slowly fade away
The days that no one will ever bring back
[Bass and Drums — Progressively Building]

[Chorus] x2
My train has left, the one that takes me nowhere
Life led me to a station where I can’t see the way out
I wish I could find the door, so I could jump
Before the white powder takes my final breath of life

[Outro — Spoken / Whispered over Hammond Organ]
I only had to search..... and finally I found...
The key to get out of this station.
It was patiently waiting..... for me to notice it.
It was there between the heart and reason.
I don’t want to be another traveler,

I want to be the one who traded his ticket
For one more day without selling his soul
To pure poison.

[Chorus]
For one more day without selling his soul to pure poison.
Pure poison...... pure poison!!!
