SWERVEDRIVER – LAST TRAIN TO SATANSVILLE You look like you've been losing sleep Said the stranger on a train I fixed him with an ice-cold stare And said I've been having those dreams again
In one dream there's this girl I love And we dance ev'ry waking breath And in the other they've thrown me in a cell And they're trying me for her death I'm only young and young in love As I hold that girl today But I'm old and tired in the cell And I've nigh-on withered away
Y' see my babe has gone away too long And I'm choking back the tears Dishevelled star in a burnt-out bar And I'm talking in my drink She promised me the world and more How could she do this to me? And now mine's tumblin' down around But at least my eyes can see And those stars in the sky are for me!
So as this fagged-out Tinseltown Waves so long to the sun I lay here calmly on my bed And the trigger of my gun And should that no-good woman show up Dancing from a dream I'll squeeze it tight and not think twice And relish ev'ry scream
