Don't Set Foot Over The Railway Track Lyrics - Thea Gilmore

Dont Set Foot Over the Railway track 

Dont set foot over the railway track 

The heathens and the spin doctors are waiting round the back 

The skies are always sullen and rain races to the tarmac 

So dont set foot over the railway track 

Dont set foot over the railway track 

The grass isnt green, its yellow and the pavement is all cracked 

The graveyards in a coma, the church has got the blues 

And Jesus has a nose-ring and Mary has tatoos 

And girls paint their skins like corpses and have hair ot scouring wire 

And the men all look like demons, see them dancing round their fires 

Every door has leprosy, every house has got the clap 

So, dont set foot over the railway track 

Dont set foot over the railway track 

Hope youve not been speaking to the wrong kind of people, Jack 

Theyll screw you son as look at you if you let them gain a foot 

This lines God almightys way of saying that youll stay just where youre put 

Cause theyre all paid up party members with a red streak like a river 

Theyre all standing there on their side saying promise and deliver 

They are papering their walls with pages of Kerouac 

So, dont set foot over the railway track 

No, dont set foot over the railway track
