Snaketrain Lyrics - Partyball - Stan Ridgway

Comin' into Southbend headin' towards the graveyard shift 

Blockin' off the fallen fences with my hardware grip 

Watchin' out and waitin' for a signal seen 

That could level out the quiet side 

And if you say you're lonely 

I'm the one you'll find there on the side 

Your one and only 

And you will know when this deed has died 

I was chasin' a ghost, pale and white 

And hard to see 

The boys in blue from peculiar school 

Are hangin' out in the dark and they're lookin' for me 

If you say you're lonely 

I'm the one you'll find there on the run 

Your one and only 

And you will know when this deed is done 

CHORUS 

Somebody's walkin' away 

While everybody's ridin' on the snaketrain 

Somebody's walkin' away, 

While everybody's ridin' on the snaketrain 

Remember when the wind would blow 

and how warm the sun would feel? 

If you say you're lonely 

And you can't decide what's fair is fair 

You're dreaming only 

And I will try and catch you there 

CHORUS
