I've always wanted to walk down railroad tracks Balanced on rusty rails Arms outstretched Taunting the behemoth Hit me, hit me Maybe they lead to my youth Where mornings were warm And the air tasted like dew I would wear a dress just to feel the wind whip at my skirts Maybe I could lie down In the middle, maybe I could watch it pass over me Or maybe I would lie across And watch it pass under me Maybe I'm just taunting god I hear lights and see the wails of sirens Is it dawn or dusk? I can't remember The trees on either side reach out I wish I could touch them Hit me, hit me I'll watch it pass from above

Railroad Tracks
I've always wanted to walk down railroad tracks Balanced on rusty rails Arms outstretched Taunting the behemoth Hit me, hit me Maybe they lead to my youth Where mornings were warm And the air tasted like dew I would wear a dress just to feel the wind whip at my skirts Maybe I could lie down In the middle, maybe I could watch it pass over me Or maybe I would lie across And watch it pass under me Maybe I'm just taunting god I hear lights and see the wails of sirens Is it dawn or dusk? I can't remember The trees on either side reach out I wish I could touch them Hit me, hit me I'll watch it pass from above
