Transit Line
|
|
|
|
There's a town in the heart of the transit line
There's a couple kissing by a detour sign
He made it to the station in the nick of time
She called out his name as the church bells chimed
She called out his name as the church bells chimed
There was trouble at the start of the transit line
He tried to buy a ticket but there's none to find
A man in the corner says I'll sell you mine
The whole worlds down to this point in time
The whole worlds down to this point in time
Is it an illusion
Show me a sign
Clear up the confusion
That's choking my mind
Should I head to the chapel
Should I run for the hills
It's too much to grapple with
It's giving me chills
He awoke in the middle of the transit line
Someone on a fiddle played Evangeline
There's a man in the station spending his last dime
She's calling her relations with a worried mind
She's calling her relations with a worried mind
There's a train off the tracks on the transit line
There's somebody missing and somebody crying
There's a letter in the rubble that never got signed
There's a hissing from the wreckage coiled serpentine
There's a hissing from the wreckage coiled serpentine
Is it an illusion
Show me a sign
Clear up the confusion
That's choking my mind
Should I head to the chapel
Should I run for the hills
It's too much to grapple with
It's giving me chills
