From the recording In The City's Arms
Lyrics
you say i'm gone
i say death won
the wild-eyed dogs of summer
the thunderclaps at midnight
the miracles of zero
untouched by circumstances
the letter home at xmas
to death beyond the windows
the dagger heels at doorsteps
all swallowed down forever
you took the last train
down the fire drain
(shot through the flawless and hollow, set fire to all the tomorrows)
you took the last train
through the glass pane
(cold is the flood of your engine, float in a suicide ocean)
you say i'm cold
my dreams untold
the generous and vacant
the stalled trains at the station
away from all potential
the simple and provincial
the hammer and the flower
the walls are creeping closer
the dagger heels in bedrooms
a cherry mouth forever
you took the last train
down the fire drain
(shot through the flawless and hollow, set fire to all the tomorrows)
you took the last train
through the glass pane
(cold is the flood of your engine, float in a suicide ocean)
