Lyrics

Draped by the wind and raped by the snow I got my hand out on the highway a stain upon my soul I hopped a freight train to Savannah and saw Jesus hammered on the ties said if you're searching for salvation, son don't bother looking through those eyes First conductor came and cast a scourge upon my back cut to the quick, lost my ticket train of faith is off the track and the switchman in the distance sent the sinners on into the fire is it too late for redemption when your only god is blind desire Speeding through the stations bleeding christ at number nine with a bottle full of lightning and a box of knotty pine this messiah of the gutter on his knees with an empty glass fill me up with more illusions, lord you know I'll never let it pass...
