"The 3rd Rail" lyrics

"The 3rd Rail"
(feat. Jeff Beck & Johnny Depp)

She was on her way home from a hard day at work
She stood on the platform clutching her purse
He came out of nowhere and threw her away
Like a ragdoll

I saw the doctor, I saw the nurse
I saw the preacher, I saw the hearse
It's with me forever, I'll never forget
The third rail 'cause that's where we met

The third rail, lyin' in wait
Six hundred and fifty reasons to hate
There ain't no reason, no there ain't no rhyme
Wrong place, wrong time

When five o'clock shadows make sounds in the grass
They're screaming down cellphones, another one lost
And I'm outta here, I'm sick of it all
As sunbreak ain't breakin' my fall

The third rail, lyin' in wait
Six hundred and fifty volts in that state
There ain't no reason, there ain't no rhyme
Wrong place, wrong time

The third rail, that's where she passed
Wasn't the first, she won't be the last
He came out of nowhere and threw her away
Like a ragdoll
