This Train Revised lyrics

by

Emily Saliers


[Verse 1]
It's a fish white belly
A lump in the throat
Razor on a wire
Skin and bone
p*ss and blood
In a railroad car
One hundred people
Gypsies, queers, and David's Stars

[Chorus]
This train is bound for glory
This train is bound for glory
This train is bound for glory
This train

[Verse 2]
Measure the bones
Count the face
Pull out the teeth
Do you belong to the human race?
Doctor, doctor
Are you unkind?
Do you shock the monkeys?
Cover our eyes with clear blue skies
[Chorus]
This train is bound for glory
This train is bound for glory
This train is bound for glory now
This train

[Verse 3]
Here is a dancer who has no legs
Here is a healer who has no hands
Here is a teacher who has no face
Here is a runner who has no feet
Here is a thinker who has no head
Here is a builder who has no back
Here is a writer who has no voice
These are the questions
These are the answers
Stacked like wood

[Chorus]
This train is bound for glory
This train is bound for glory
This train is bound for glory now
This train
This train is bound for glory
This train gonna carry my mother
This train is bound for glory
This train gonna carry my father
This train is bound for glory now
This train gonna carry my sister
This train
This train gonna carry my brother
(Here is a teacher)
(Stacked like wood)
This train gonna carry my sister
(Here is a healer)
(Stacked like wood)
This train gonna carry my brother
(This is a builder)
This train gonna carry my sister
(Gypsies, queers, and David's stars)
This train is
This train is bound for glory
[Outro]
These are the questions
Stacked like wood
These are the answers
Here is potential gone for good
