Mystery Train

Well, you sleep with me if you wanna
Through a Nighthawk bourbon haze
But I know I'll wake without you when the mornin' comes
Touch my lips before I sleep
Mixin' blood in with the tears
And the seeds of pain and seeds of love together disappear

It's not that I disagree
It's just I beat to a different drum
I swim into your waters, but I got back to the shore
Now every day is just the same
As the one that went before
I took a little then I went back for some more

Now I've know what it's like to ride that mystery train
The station's there and it won't stop and there's the pain
No tears to cry, no reason why, there's no refrain
I'm ridin' that mystery train

You're shinin' like a diamond
But you're a thorn without the rose
Well, you can dance with me, but you can't call me yours
I wanna touch you once and get off
But that's not the way you work
You're a fast-movin' train and somebody's locked them doors

Did you say I was a heroine
Or just that I was on it?
It's so easy to get caught in your embrace
I punched a hole in your existence
Your punched a hole right in my arm
You beckon with your finger and it all falls into place

Well, now I've know what it's like to ride that mystery train
The station's there and it won't stop and there's the pain
No tears to cry, no reason why, there's no refrain
I'm ridin' that mystery train

(Train gets unloaded)

Now I've know what it's like to ride the mystery train
The station's there and it won't stop and there's the pain
No tears to cry, no reason why, there's no refrain
I'm ridin' that mystery train

Now I ain't afraid of dyin'
Or the place that might dwell
In the time I've spend with you
I've done my share of hell
