Rusty Rain Railroad
From the side of a freight car
he hangs his indigo heart on the rails
as the metal wheels harmonize the rain
amidst the rust and thunder...
The message is clear..."Jesus saves-Jesus saves".
climb aboard "faith" away your pain,
get down on brittle knees- be saved.
It's a take care of number one world
everyone else be damned
live for the moment
trash away the soul
there's no God of tomorrow.
resistance to truth turns the blood black.
On the side of a freight car
he hangs an indigo heart
rust and thunder spinning
to another strange land.
The line of impatience grows-
red demons in their eyes
what does it matter,
everyone's gonna die...
sooner than they think
Jesus hangs from a freight car
in the rusted rain
nobody listening
nobody caring
nobody saved
everyone be damned.
