Engineer says there's a body on the tracks
Draped in greens and raging rain and want
The color gray was creeping in like bones, like timeless days
verse 2
Phrases left his body and his memories on those tracks
Calmed his mind and left his flesh and bones
For where are the things?
The shallow digs now he calls The Swamp his home
verse 3
Baby told the navy to go bring him back
Said the eyes have gone and made him leave
Make them pay and make them bring my baby back to me
verse 4
Oh engineer says there's a body on the tracks
Dancing slow and looking left for dead
Phrases dreams of simple things
And the fall of men
