Thin Line  lyrics

it`s a fish white belly
a lump in the throat
razor on the wire
skin and bone
piss and blood
in a railroad car
100 people
gypsies queers
and david`s star
this train is bound for glory
this train is bound for glory
this train is bound for glory
this train
measure the bones
count the face
pull out the teeth
do you belong
to the human race
doctor doctor
are you unkind
do you shock the monkeys
cover our eyes
with clear blue skies
this train is bound for glory
this train is bound for glory
this train is bound for glory now
this train
here is a dancer
who has no legs
here is a teacher
who has no face
here is a healer
who has no hands
here is a runner
who has no feet
here is a thinker
who has no head
here is a builder
who has no back
here is a writer
who has no voice
these are the questions
these are the answers
stacked like wood
this train is bound for glory
this train is bound for glory
this train is bound for glory now
this train
this train is bound for glory
this train gonna carry my mother
this train is bound for glory
this train gonna carry my father
this train is bound for glory now
this train gonna carry my sister
this train
this train gonna carry my brother
(here is a teacher)
[stacked like wood]
this train gonna carry my sister
(here is a healer)
[stacked like wood]
this train gonna carry my brother
(this is a builder)
this train gonna carry my sister
[gypsies queers and david`s star]
this train is
this train is bound for glory
these are the questions
stacked like wood
these are the answers
here is potential gone for good
