[Verse 1]
2
My Grand-pops was a man of respect, had to sweat
3
Just to cash checks working from sun-rise to set
4
Every day he'd get challenged, no trades or talents
5
Barely scraped by, he found faith to balance the straight line
6
And pace feeling worn and grey
7
Poor with four seeds, one more on the way
8
It was hard days indeed all work and no play
9
He made sure things on the surface were okay, but
10
Something disturbin' within his mind was lurkin'
11
A slight twilight breeze would ease in through the curtains at night
12
It's like the sermon of a twisted apparition
13
Was urging him to listen to the train in the distance
14
At first it wasn't intense, just one little instance
15
Sure, it didn't occur, he turned to resist it
16
As if it wasn't much more than just a figment of his imagination but for days it was persistent
17
And it went, "follow me, follow me. follow me, follow me" then it got louder
18
"follow me, follow me, I have something to show you"
19
[Verse 2]
20
With time people noticed he was actin berserk
21
Granny got a call saying he was absent from work
22
And that was a first
23
She ran to the pastor at church
24
To ask him what was up with this disastrous curse
25
But bad went to worse
26
He came back three days after, no money in his wallet and his shirt on backwards
27
Stumbling, walked awkward he called out for his daughter
28
Right before he split the last lesson he taught her was this
29
"If you ever have a son let him know that his granddad loves him but by the time that he's grown
30
Be sure this seed is sown deep down into his dome, don't ever ever walk to the train tracks alone"
31
With that he backed up reached out for his jacket
32
Told her not to act up and cracked up laughin'
33
After all that happened he left never to be seen
34
Fifteen years later is when my mother had me
35
Her dad lived a life people can't understand
36
Went from a, family man to rambling man
37
A gambling man that burned both ends of the candle
38
Folded his hand in it was too hot to handle
39
[Hook]
40
Sitting on the tracks waiting for the night train
41
Looking down the road ain't never gonna go back
42
Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop
43
Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight? (x2)
44
[Verse 3]
45
When I was a tot my mom dropped fables and stories
46
To warn me of the dangers that were layin before me
47
To keep it interestin' she would hide the lesson
48
To guide my direction, provide the right message
49
In time I developed a sense of her embellishment
50
Since I was rebellious against what she was tellin me
51
When I was a teen I pretend-ed that my demons were friends
52
I defended the place. Yo and that was the case
53
Slurred speech drippin' off of my face
54
The world creeped as I slipped to the awfulest place you could imagine
55
Not the average things you see on acid;
56
My granddad bloody hovering on a speaker cabinet
57
Laughing in a raspy tone, covered in maggots
58
That snacked on his mass of a bone, I couldn't grasp it
59
Did a double dismount off of the couch, flipped out
60
Broke the closest window I found, then I dipped out
61
Suddenly, I discovered little voices mumbling up in my head
62
It had me wondering what was it my mother said
63
Back when I was younger it had my brain ragged
64
As I stumbled off of the night towards the train tracks
65
[Hook]
66
Sitting on the tracks waiting for the night train
67
Looking down the road ain't never gonna go back
68
Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop
69
Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight? (x2)
70
[Verse 4]
71
So there I was, stalking through the dark with a buzz
72
I figured I should walk that'll ease me off of these drugs
73
It's like a shark had to keep movin' it's that or be ruined;
74
If I sat still I was doomed and that wasn't doin'
75
So I marched through the park slow gone(?) like Donnie Darko
76
The sparkle of the starlight, glowed like charcoal
77
Despite my demeanor
78
The night seemed more serene than a morphine fiend in a morgue, it seemed
79
Like I lost it, that was when my grand-pops carcass emerged from the dark
80
Gurggling his words of carnage, but he couldn't talk
81
Something about the birth of sadness
82
I scurried off, I was on the verge of madness
83
I raced fast pace in the landscape was strange like a plane parallel to this one but rearranged
84
Came to a slope to a steep, beggin' for sleep
85
As I climbed up taking my focus off of the creeps
86
Within the foggy distance I saw a silhouette that got bigger as I stepped
87
The train tracks were wet, I saw a shiny grin from afar like it was happy
88
This is what he said as he started to walk passed me
89
"It's a nice night for a walk, would ya mind if I joined you?"
90
"Do what you wanna do"
91
"Well that's great cause I'm going to
92
And not to annoy you but see I really have to ask
93
What a young dude like you's doin out by the tracks? *You waiting on a traaain*"
94
"Nah man let me explain
95
I'm mindin' my business so maybe you should do the same
96
I just been a witness to something sick and sadistic
97
So twistedly disgusting you should feel real lucky you missed it. "
98
"Ooh easy with the tongue son, try to listen carefully
99
What you seen's scary but nothing can compared to me
100
I could show you things that paint all your dreams haunted
101
Or I could make you scream if I wanted
102
Or I can be the bee in your bonnet, your best-friend forever
103
Two peas in a pod flocking like birds of a feather
104
And you never have a need to beg work or steal
105
If all this sounds worth it then lets make a deal
106
All you want in life for price of your soul
107
All the money you can fold, power that you can hold
108
I'll put you in control, only if you're down to roll down these train tracks tonight. "
109
"But where we gonna go?"
110
[Hook]
111
Sitting on the tracks waiting for the night train
112
Looking down the road ain't never gonna go back
113
Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop
114
Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight? (x2)
