rail yard ghosts - steel and smoke lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
blowin’ smoke (blowin’ smoke)
and chasin’ steel (chasin’ steel)
sometimes freedom (sometimes freedom)
we must steal
for it to feel…real
waitin’ on that low hum roll slow
who would pay to see how smooth it rolls?

breathe deep (breathe deep)
into the lungs (into the lungs)
freedom tastes (freedom tastes)
just like the sun
on your tongue
songs are sung
but wars are never won
if we are one, why can’t we stare down the barrel of this gun?

and oh these walls!
some are bricks, and some are alcohol
some of them, we can’t even see at all
some are hate, ignorance and rage
either way we’ve locked ourselves
in our own f+cking cage

[instrumentals]
[verse 2]
play your roll, burn more coal
the whole train load full
gag and choke on stagnant smoke
the burning of ancient bones
won’t you let this monster roll across the prairies wide?
iron, steel, and diesel dream
these mountains steal my breath
but not my life

[instrumentals]

[outro]
cold wind blow (cold wind blow)
pick your car and count the bolts
k!ll the cops! (k!ll the cops!)
dig the soul out of mountain tops
happiness is a cold cold gutter
air brakes scream and engines sputter
sister? brother?
tell me where did we get lost?
