Dead Melodies Songtext / Lyric

Where will you go
When this day is over?
A gambler's purse
Lays on the road.

Straight to your door,
Snakes have gone crazy tonight,
Winding their way out of sight.

A laugh, a joke,
A sentiment wasted,
Seasons of strangers,
They've come and gone.

Doldrums are pounding,
Cheapskates are clowning this town,
Who could disown themselves now?

Engineer,
Slow down this old train,
Cinders and chaff
Laugh at the moon.

Night birds will cackle,
Rotting like apples on trees,
Sending their dead melodies
to me.
