There comes the train
From beyond the blue hills
Comes the train
Huff and puff over rails
Here comes the train
Burning coals of the ages
And also the words
Of their sages
Look! It's the train
It comes huffing and puffing and coughing
And calling
Hey man!
See, it's the train
You just leave back your luggage
You need but your courage
Amen
Who's gonna cry?
Who's gonna stay?
Who's gonna laugh?
Going my way
For the magic train's a-comin'
Look, it's drawin' into the station
All the livin' are within
The chosen ones in this Nation
Look, look the sky
It is not the one sky
That you knew
Can't you fathom the why?
Look, see the sky
See the clouds that are blowing
A-glowing
Cant' you hear the sign?
Listen! Here's the sign
As it grows into trumpets
Beasts and strumpets!
Come, try!
God in the sky
Steering clouds off the atoms
Of dangers and atom
Oh my!
Look at the evil
Kissing good and both bowing
And sewing
Their way for the train
Train
Amen . . .
