Lyrics
Rainbow train
There's a sliver of a red blood moon Slipping down below the trees on the right side of my point of
view as I slip into a darker room there's no one there to hear me cry when I pack my bags to say
goodbye as the rainbow train rolls on
The whistle blows like a siren sings the conductor knows to hide her wings as the rainbow train
rolls on
There's a silver cross upon her neck to mark the loss that you'd expect when religion turns and
runs away cause they couldn't seem to find the way to a clear blue sky and the light of day
So I get onboard for a journey on the rainbow train
The whistle blows like a siren sings the conductor knows to hide her wings as the rainbow train
rolls on
There's a rainbow train on a razor track and I got onboard cause I'm going back to the right side of
my memory my shadow was my remedy there's no one left to set me free no one left inside of me
as the rainbow train rolls on
Rolling toward the coastline rolling toward the shore
I'm heading out of earth-time and you won't see me no more
AS THE RAINBOW TRAIN ROLLS ON
