lyrics

Drawing the lines on your furrowed brow
Wiping you sweat with a bloody towel
Taking your time with a borrowed clue
Holding the line like I've been holding you
I'm bound to the same vein that'll taker her life
The sound of a chain gang at the railroad side
Tying her down while the whistle blows
Time won't allow for the train to approach

The morning won't ache when it comes to pass
Pick up what's left of this evening crash
And I'm falling like walls that have crumbled to the floor
I'm heeding your call for a ragtime war

The afternoon it kills you in the high-strung heat
Why can't you see what this is doing to me
The train derailment was a pale attempt
To slow down to nothing when the steel track bent
Blades of cocaine rise and hit your throat
Numbs out the pain in the afterglow
I'm falling for you by the bathroom sign
Fighting those tears in your bloodshot eyes.

The morning won't ache when it comes to pass
Pick up what's left of this evening crash
And I'm falling like hell against your bedroom door
I'm heeding your call for a ragtime war
