Dear Sylvia, I can’t make it tomorrow I woke up in the Valley of the Dogs again But Sylvia, if I can get past Ruby Hollow I might be there when that train comes in But it’s a long way back to New Orleans And in between you’re gonna disappear Yeah, it’s a long way home - where I’m coming from But darling, I have dreamed the friend is near His name is Wilbur Corduroy He’s a broken toy, but aren’t we all? You can tell by the way I walk I’m missing pieces My brains don’t work, my eyes are 45’s I’m more dead than alive, but you know the feeling This train is breathing, this train is leaving Hey Sylvia, I heard a good joke today I heard the preacher say at death We’ll be born again If he only knew about me and you He’d see we’re afterliving proof That what he said was true, just a little bent I saw the light, I saw the light I spilled my guts on Alvarado tonight They used to call us shaman, but now we’re just sick Well, I’m sick of it, I’m sick of it, I’m sick of it I wrote our names upon the wall The cemetery and the bathroom stalls Now they know who to call if they’re missing pieces Our brains don’t work, our eyes are 45’s We’re more dead than alive, but you know the reason This train is stealing all we have left This train is breathing This train is leaving This train is bound for Glory, this train This train is bound for Glory, this train This train is bound for Glory Hell on heels, that’s another story This train is bound for Glory, this train Fish don’t fry in the kitchen Beans don’t burn on the grill Threw my worries in an open grave Now I’ve only got time to kill Because I’m going nowhere But nowhere’s where I wanna be So if you get to heaven Give ol’ St. Peter hell for me He’ll see - nobody rides for free This train is bound for Glory, this train This train is bound for Glory, this train This train may be full of holes Forgotten haunts, abandoned souls But this train is bound for Glory, this train But it’s a long way back to where you’re from You’ll be far from done when those curtains close Because there’s no way home When you’re dead and gone So I’ll be on my way when that whistle blows This train is All we have left This train is breathing
