Railroaded Lyrics

Railroaded lyrics

Well I smoked my throat out last night
Hoping you'd call or just stop
by
Now I'm wheezing like the Oakland sky
Feeling like the rusted tracks
and forgotten dream of the old train lines
It's a perpetual stone in my
shoe
One that I'll always be trying to shake loose
An ache in my chest
and a thorn in my side
More than a scratch beneath this skin
Somewhere
between the beginning and the end
I don't feel a lot lately
I don't feel
whole lately
I don't feel much lately
But that's how I hide
That's how
I hide
You wrote it down not to draw attention to yourself
You lit the
pilot just to blow it out
Here the conversation's always too loud
And
we're as pathetic as the jumper that listens to the crowd
To say I miss you
wouldn't be enough
I feel like Tom Waits singing Diamonds & Rust
And I'm
as pathetic as a junkie who knows what he does
It's a perpetual stone in my
shoe
One that I'll always be trying to shake loose
An ache in my chest
and a thorn in my side
More than a scratch beneath this skin
Somewhere
between the beginning and the end
I don't feel a lot lately
I don't feel
whole lately
I don't feel much lately
But that's how I hide
That's how
I hide
