(Hi, BethOh, I was just calling you to chat with youI'm probably going to have to get upAt the buttcrack of dawn tomorrowOh, I hear Patsy backed out on ya tomorrowIs she—Damn it, John (Hmm?)I lost that frickin' steel line (Ugh)Shit!Okay, it's alrightGo fucking find itAh, shit, I'm lookin' man (Ha-ha, fuck)See, I told you my head don't work rightYeah, you don't have to tell me that)I'm in the car, I just needed to clear my headShe's in the house with the baby crying on the bedShe's got this thing where she puts up the walls so highIt doesn't matter how much you loveIt doesn't matter how hard you tryWe got a place with a fence and a little grassI put this film on the windowsAnd it looks like chapel glassBut when shе turnsit's like the shadow of the cross don't castNo blеssing over our lonely lifeIt's like waiting for a train to passAnd I don't know when it'll passBut I remember when she used to set the room on fireWith her eyes, swear to GodIt's like a flood of grief and sorrow from a haunted lifeWhen she cries, like a train, it's a lotI dropped a line to a flickering high school flameWe laughed about all the ways that our lives had changedShe's up the road, about thirty-five miles northGot two little boys in school, just had a real bad divorceAnd in a moment of weaknessI told her if she ever needed a helping handI would lend, swear to GodIt's like the part of me that's screaming not to jump gets lostIn the sound of the train, it's a lotTrying hardNot to careSwear to God
