Текст песни: Get On The Train + перевод

Mama’s in the kitchen with a steak knife

Showing her sister how she slices the meat

Daddy’s on the phone with his first wife

Saying «I'd like to come home but she cut off my feet»

And it’s all going out of control

Little brother fell down a hole

And we can’t fish him out, and I have no doubt

That we ain’t seen the worst of this heat

Police sergeant come by to call

Shot seventeen holes in the wall

Got mud on the rug in the hall

And said «That's what I think of your cooking.»

And little brother finally came in from the rain

And in a loud voice began to complain

And he might have been bleeding and possibly in pain

But I don’t know, I wasn’t looking

Get on the train, wo

Get on the train

And a dog got tired, lay down in a ditch

And said here’s what I’ll do if I ever get rich

Gonna take off this collar and get me a bitch

And run when my master says «heel»

And I said you’re just a dog, man

And you eat chopped meat from a tin can

And the dog said «the ditch and the collar are a dream

But the bitch in my head is for real.»

And then we all took the car and went for a drive

And mama trapped tiny flies and ate them alive

And said «I do what I must in order to survive»

But to me she sounded like she was dying

And I pulled the car over to the roadside

At the spot I was to marry my new bride

And there she was, stripped naked and hog-tied

Saying «Boy, stand straight and stop crying.»

Get on the train, wo

Get on the train

So the sun slouched down to the bar and got drunk

And meanwhile the moon was shooting up junk

And me I have in the bottom of my trunk

Some old letters and a dirty magazine

And now 24 hours a day we got night

And the sun said «man, it didn’t seem right

The pressure of always having to burn so bright»

And I said «yes, I know what you mean.»

And the train moves on in the dark

We try to make fire from a spark

My new bride dies and mama she cries

Cause the worst kind of stain is from blood

And it’s all going out of control

And a crow on a telephone pole

Looks across the plain and says «no not again

I barely survived the first flood.»

Get on the train, wo

Get on the train
