Freight Train!

Freight Train! (right click to save file)

freight train

snow on coal

is dry as dust

blows upon gusts

and whistle low o freight train

and whistle blow o freight train

.

freight train

you’re a metal muscle

you’re a liquid metal muscle

thunder o freight train

thunder o’er this fog of pain

rattle my neck o freight train

rattle me back and rattle my track

o freight train

.

freight train

burst the film

explode the camera

burst the film that’s stretched across

the atmosphere and

stir up dust and dirt and grit

burn up coal and carry it

.

freight train

the sky is dense

explode the film you ride against

the air and make it quiver

make the rider shiver

a silver cinema sliver

against the sky you’re a metal river

o freight train

against the sky you’re a might metal river!

.
