Lletres: Indigo Girls. 1200 Curfews. This Train Revised.

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

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
