lyrics

Shoved off a northbound moving train
The brakeman knew my face, he said
“Kid I’ll turn you in just to feed my own
Ya better get off.”

Muddy banks held a beaten down canoe
Float wild and I dream of you
Could that current take me to a
Time that I once knew

Saw peace down the barrel of a gun
Let light shine through the Devil’s head
I walked a long long road til I got nowhere
And I felt it

Satisfied by my second state line
I hopped a freight, the Pacific Junction
Getting high on fumes with the
Children of the night

And I dream of roses cut from a governor’s grave
By men who won’t be saved
And in the constant din of a widow’s brain
I shine on
I shine on

Why would I kneel the please the hand
That took my love and burned my land
From the cinders I pulled an iron brand
And I swore it

To make good all the debts that I have owed
Make due on dollars doled
And as my skin burned black
I swore the hangman’s oath

Now I’m drowned in roses cut from a governor’s grave
By men who refuse to be saved

And in the constant din of a window’s brain
I shine on
I shine on
I shine on

And I’ll freeze on the backstreets
For a crooked mind or fiery tongue

But I’m still under her spell
Brainwaves buzz like a broken bell
Turning sky, what do you see?
A little life in a rotten tree

Can someone look me in the eyes
And just convince me I’m alive

Pour another glass of wine
Drink with me to a new life
Honey could you see
Who’s knocking at my door?
