[00:16.470]My grandpops was a man of respect, had to sweat
[00:19.410]Just to cash checks, workin' from sunrise to set
[00:21.820]Every day, he'd get challenged, no trades or talents
[00:24.580]Barely scraped by, he found faith to balance
[00:27.180]The straight line and pace, feelin' worn and grey
[00:29.670]Poor with four seeds, one more on the way
[00:32.360]It was hard days indeed, all work and no play
[00:35.190]He made sure things on the surface were okay
[00:37.830]But something disturbin' within his mind was lurkin'
[00:40.320]A slight twilight breeze would ease in through the curtains at night
[00:43.350]It's like the sermon of a twisted apparition
[00:45.610]Was urgin' him to listen to the train in the distance
[00:48.390]At first, it wasn't intense, just one little instance
[00:51.150]Sure, it didn't occur, he turned to resist it
[00:54.070]As if it wasn't much more than just a figment
[00:56.430]Of his imagination, but for days, it was persistent
[00:58.910]And it went, "Follow me, follow me
[01:02.070]Follow me, follow me"
[01:04.000]Then it got louder, "Follow me, follow me
[01:07.180]I have something to show you"
[01:09.530]With time, people noticed he was actin' berserk
[01:11.960]Granny got a call sayin' he was absent from work
[01:14.510]And that was a first, she ran to the pastor at church
[01:17.090]To ask him what was up with this disastrous curse
[01:19.890]But bad went to worse, he came back three days after
[01:22.620]No money in his wallet and his shirt on backwards
[01:25.240]Stumblin', walked awkward, he called out for his daughter
[01:27.990]Right before he split, the last lesson he taught her was this
[01:30.740]"If you ever have a son let him know that his granddad loves him
[01:34.340]But by the time that he's grown
[01:35.800]Be sure this seed is sown deep down into his dome
[01:38.230]Don't ever, ever walk to the train tracks alone"
[01:41.120]With that, he backed up, reached out for his jacket
[01:43.780]Told her not to act up, and cracked up laughin'
[01:46.360]After all that happened, he left, never to be seen
[01:48.970]15 years later is when my mother had me
[01:51.610]Her dad lived a life people can't understand
[01:54.050]Went from a family man to ramblin' man
[01:56.750]A gamblin' man that burned both ends of the candle
[01:59.510]Folded his hand in, it was too hot to handle
[02:02.340]Sittin' on the tracks, waitin' for the night train
[02:04.850]Lookin' down the road, ain't never gonna go back
[02:07.530]Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop
[02:10.140]Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight?
[02:12.780]Sittin' on the tracks, waitin' for the night train
[02:15.400]Lookin' down the road, ain't never gonna go back
[02:18.080]Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop
[02:20.690]Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight?
[02:23.190]When I was a tot, my mom dropped fables and stories
[02:25.960]To warn me of the dangers that were layin' before me
[02:28.600]To keep it interestin', she would hide the lesson
[02:31.250]To guide my direction, provide the right message
[02:33.860]In time, I developed a sense of her embellishment
[02:36.730]Since I was rebellious against what she was tellin' me
[02:39.170]When I was a teen, I pretended that my demons were friends
[02:41.890]I defended the place, yo, and that was the case
[02:44.880]Slurred speech drippin' off of my face
[02:46.790]The world creeped as I slipped to the awfulest place
[02:49.540]You could imagine, not the average things you'd see on acid
[02:52.190]My granddad bloody, hoverin' on a speaker cabinet
[02:54.970]Laughin' in a rasp, he turned covered in maggots
[02:57.600]That snacked on his ass with a bone, I couldn't grasp it
[03:00.340]Did a double dismount off of the couch, flipped out
[03:02.950]Broke the closest window I found, then I dipped out
[03:05.540]Suddenly, I discovered little voices mumblin' up in my head
[03:09.040]It had me wonderin', "What was it my mother said
[03:11.430]Back when I was younger?" It had my brain ragged
[03:13.470]As I stumbled off of the night towards the train tracks
[03:16.440]Sittin' on the tracks, waitin' for the night train
[03:18.670]Lookin' down the road, ain't never gonna go back
[03:21.360]Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop
[03:23.940]Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight?
[03:26.570]Sittin' on the tracks, waitin' for the night train
[03:29.230]Lookin' down the road, ain't never gonna go back
[03:31.900]Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop
[03:34.480]Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight?
[03:37.060]So there I was, stalkin' through the dark with a buzz
[03:39.610]I figured I should walk, that'll ease me off of these drugs
[03:42.260]It's like a shark, had to keep movin', it's that or be ruined
[03:44.880]If I sat still, I was doomed, and that wasn't doin'
[03:47.470]So I marched through the park, slow gone like Donnie Darko
[03:50.330]The sparkle of the starlight glowed like charcoal
[03:53.010]Despite my demeanor, the night seemed more serene
[03:55.630]Than a morphine fiend in a morgue scene, like I lost it
[03:58.970]That was when my grandpops carcass emerged from the dark
[04:01.560]Gurglin' his words of carnage, but he couldn't talk
[04:04.220]Something about the birth of sadness
[04:06.160]I scurried off, I was on the verge of madness
[04:08.760]I raced fast, pace in the landscape was strange
[04:11.340]Like a plane parallel to this one but rearranged
[04:14.130]Came to a slope, to a steep, beggin' for sleep
[04:16.580]As I climbed up, takin' my focus off of the creeps
[04:19.320]Within the foggy distance, I saw a silhouette
[04:21.820]That got bigger as I stepped, the train tracks were wet
[04:24.530]I saw a shiny grin from afar, like it was happy
[04:27.310]This is what he said as he started to walk passed me
[04:29.970]"It's a nice night for a walk, would ya mind if I joined you?
[04:32.810]Do what you wanna do"
[04:33.890]"Well, that's great 'cause I'm goin' to"
[04:35.310]"And not to annoy you, but see, I really have to ask
[04:37.700]What a young dude like you's doin' out by the tracks
[04:40.260]You waitin' on a train?"
[04:41.890]"Nah, man, let me explain (alright)
[04:43.290]I'm mindin' my business, so maybe you should do the same
[04:45.580]I just been a witness to something sick and sadistic
[04:48.280]So twistedly disgustin', you should feel real lucky you missed it"
[04:50.980]Said, "Easy with the tongue, son, try to listen carefully
[04:53.690]What you seen's scary, but nothing when compared to me
[04:56.340]I could show you things to paint all your dreams haunted
[04:58.950]And I could make you scream if I wanted
[05:01.120]Or I can be the bee in your body, your best friend forever
[05:04.130]The peas in a pod, ****in' like birds in a feather
[05:06.720]And you never have a need to beg, work, or steal
[05:09.500]If all this sounds worth it, then let's make a deal
[05:12.090]All you want in life for price of your soul
[05:14.610]All the money you can fold, power that you can hold
[05:17.480]I'll put you in control, only if you're down to roll
[05:19.700]Down these train tracks tonight" ("But where are we gonna go?")
[05:22.680]Sittin' on the tracks, waitin' for the night train
[05:25.240]Lookin' down the road, ain't never gonna go back
[05:27.890]Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop
[05:30.530]Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight?
[05:33.120]Sittin' on the tracks, waitin' for the night train
[05:35.980]Lookin' down the road, ain't never gonna go back
[05:38.480]Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop
[05:41.070]Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight?
[05:44.870]End.
