Love and Rockets - Bound for Hell lyrics
Well, faith flies off the mountain everyday No parachute, and no crash to see Yes, my faith flies off a mountain everyday And there's no parachute, no goddamn crash to see Fly the little monkey up a telegraph pole Sending out a signal to somebody, somebody Somebody, please somebody I want to hear a song that makes me believe in something I want to hear a song that makes me believe something I want to hear a song that makes me believe There's something to believe in I want to hear a song that makes me believe Had a dream... I was riding on a train that wasn't bound for glory Riding on a train, the train was bound for hell Riding on a train that wasn't bound for glory, that's for sure Riding on a train that's bound for hell The engine with human blood was damp The headlight was her brimstone lamp And then for fuel I shoveled in bones and the furnace roared with a thousand groans The tank was filled with lager beer The devil himself was engineer The passengers were a mixed up crew The churchman in his battered suit The rich in broadcloth, poor in rags Handsome girls, wrinkled hags Black men, yellow, red and white Chained together, fearful sight The dream was storming at full pace The sulfer fumes burned hands and face Wilder and wilder the country grew Faster and faster the engine flew Loud and terrible thunder crashed Whiter brighter lighing flash Hotter still the air became So clothes will burn from each shrinking frame There came a fearfull ear-splitting yell... Yell Satan: "dance, the next stop's hell" Twas then the passengers shrieked with pain And begged the devil to stop the train Stop this train He shrieked and roared, and grinned with glee And mocked and laughed at their misery "My friends you've bought your seats on this road, I've got to get through with a complete load" You've pulled in the weak, you've cheated the poor You starving tramp, you turned from the door You've up gold till your purses bust You've give a beastly lust You've mocked at god in your hellful pride You've killed and you've cheated, and plundered and lied You've come across men and you've swore and you've stole Not a one in body and soul Body and soul So you've paid full fare and I'll carry you through If there's one And here's a time when I ain't no liar A land that will save you, a land of fire And your flesh will scorch in the flames that roar You'll sizzle and burn from And I awake with a thrilling cry My were clothes were wet, my hair stood high And I prayed as I've never until that hour To be saved from hell and the devil's power At present my vows were not in vain That I payed no fare on that hellbound train |
