Long Nights on Slow Trains Lyrics


So slow… can’t get off these tracks. The rumble, and the squealing aural attacks. And, there is no one at the wheel of this monster of steel. It won’t let me sleep, I just wanna sleep. Too tired to fight, all through this torturous night. I’d even take a night’s mare, darkness leading me anywhere. Eyelids removed, so I stare. Eyelids removed, so I stare. Release my hands. You have no use for them, I know you understand. I demand, hands be damned. Release me, locomotive train. A passenger, I never was, though I cried in vain. Release me with a kiss of peace, I plea. Release me with a kiss of peace, I plea. Long nights on these slow trains… all nerves of steel reduced to migraines.
