Intro

          

Verse 1

where will you go when this day is over
a gambler's purse lays on the road 
straight to your door
snakes have gone crazy tonight
winding their way out of sight 

Verse 2

a laugh, a joke a sentiment wasted
seasons of strangers they've come and gone 
doldrums are pounding,
cheapskates are clowning this town
who could disown themselves now 

Verse 3

engineer, slow down this old train
cinders and chaff laugh at the moon 
night birds will cackle
rotting like apples on trees
sending their dead melodies...to me
