"A Runaway Train" lyrics

All aboard. Watch your step, people. Last call for the nightmare express

I found myself slipping away
Just this side of dead
I woke up in a boxcar
I wasn't in my bed
I found my leg chained to a spike
That ran down through the floor
Attached to thirteen angry men
All rotten to the core
But I'm innocent I cried right out
I'm in someone else's dream
They looked around and laughed out loud
Said, "Brother, so are we."
"Yeah, brother, so are we."

But I'm a big celebrity
Known around the land
"Well buddy you ain't no one here
Man, you ain't in demand"
Speeding towards a flaming wall
Like a screaming sonic boom
I really gotta wake up now
Or I may meet my doom oh Lord
I may meet my doom

So all that I remember
Is how much my body hurt
Now I'm sleeping in the graveyard
On the wrong side of the dirt
Yeah I'm on the wrong side of the dirt
Wrong side of the dirt, don't you know
I'm on the wrong side of the dirt
