I'm a penny on a train rail I'm a balled up fist of rage The number of my sorrows Outnumber all my days I've got lies in my veins They rush faster when I smile And for all the beds I've made They're now coverin' up my eyes I'm like dead people I never got a second chance And everything I've ever held Was ripped right from my hands Love she digs my grave And hate he guards the hole I've got five evil women's names Tattooed 'cross my soul I went down to the river Where muddy water freely flows Drowned my shallow mind Felt my time-bomb heart explode Above a storm-train appeared On cloud-wheels it roared and rolled I watched the colors spill As it thrill-killed the last rainbow Held a dying baby There was somethin' about  his eyes Made me feel some kind of feelin' That cornered me inside Sometimes I cry out at the moonlight Just like a wolf out in the cold Sometimes I pray for daylight Sometimes I pray the night unfolds

Branded Blues
I'm a penny on a train rail I'm a balled up fist of rage The number of my sorrows Outnumber all my days I've got lies in my veins They rush faster when I smile And for all the beds I've made They're now coverin' up my eyes I'm like dead people I never got a second chance And everything I've ever held Was ripped right from my hands Love she digs my grave And hate he guards the hole I've got five evil women's names Tattooed 'cross my soul I went down to the river Where muddy water freely flows Drowned my shallow mind Felt my time-bomb heart explode Above a storm-train appeared On cloud-wheels it roared and rolled I watched the colors spill As it thrill-killed the last rainbow Held a dying baby There was somethin' about  his eyes Made me feel some kind of feelin' That cornered me inside Sometimes I cry out at the moonlight Just like a wolf out in the cold Sometimes I pray for daylight Sometimes I pray the night unfolds
