Poverty Train Lyrics - Eli & The 13th Confession - Laura Nyro

Last call for the poverty train 

Last call for the poverty train 

It looks good and dirty on shiny light strip 

And if you don't get beat you got yourself a trip You can see the walls roar, see your brains on the floor Become God, become cripple, become funky and split Why was I born 

No-no-no-no 

whoa-oh no-no-no-no no no no, no 

Oh baby, I just saw the Devil and he's smilin' at me 

I heard my bones cry, 

Devil why's it got to be 

Devil played with my brother, 

Devil drove my mother 

Now the tears in the gutter are floodin' the sea 

Why was I born 

No-no-no-no 

whoa-oh no-no-no-no no no no, no 

Oh baby, it looks good and dirty, them shiny lights glow 

A million night tramps, tricks and tracks will come and go You're starvin' today 

But who cares anyway 

Baby, it feels like I'm dyin' now 

I swear there's something better than 

Getting off on sweet cocaine It feels so good 

It feels so good 

Gettin' off the poverty train 

Mornin'...
