malkovich music - train lyrics

loping pallbearers, open caskets
this is life stripped down to the chassis
we deal with all that was, all that is
bourbon street heat, stormy night on the bayou
“typhoon weather”, the man remarks as the lighter sparks
sipping maker’s mark as the train departs
my window’s a slideshow
i see trailer parks, babies playing in the dark
eyes like glowflies, swaying through the marsh
the old man takes two, coughs and looks off in the distance
like he lost something out there and looking’ll make a difference
peoplе catching each other’s stares and flinching
a boxcar of childlеss fathers, fatherless children
skittering through the wilderness
the train creeps the tracks like a heartbeat, making it hard to sleep
the engine shrieks neanderthal animals through the blue black
i sit watching the admiral come unglued
not sure when he was born, been in every war
clashed with the spanish armada, did pearl harbor, desert storm
sailed galleons, commandeered battalions, fought valiant
and now he just sits there stammering
everyone laughs inside but he’s just dealing
ain’t no such thing as crazy, he’s just dealing
this man here ain’t crazy, he’s just dealing
went to sleep on his bad side and lost all feeling
ain’t no such thing as crazy, we just dealing
a crowd of people face to face, just sitting
on their way to their rented apartments for more sitting
waiting rooms where they sit and wait to stop breathing
and neighbors are strangers, you just hear ’em through the ceiling
the occasional m+ffled sound, the television
and it gets so lonely sometimes you wanna scream
then the old lady sitting next to me starts speaking
never loved a soul, didn’t know the feeling
was a dead woman’s sister, a family man’s mistress
never loved her mother, her father, her own children
and all you hear is…
talks to herself cuz n0body else will listen
spotted her in the street and they put her on medicine
