Death on a Train gives a first-hand account of a romantic encounter gone tragically wrong.

lyrics

Death on a Train

I met her on a Northbound train to Portland
I got on in Oakland; she in Richman
It traveled up the valley, like an inchworm
We both saw the rising of the sun

I asked her if she’d like to have some breakfast
We both went to the dining car
We exchanged our names threw down some shots of whiskey
And went off in search of the baggage car

(solo)

Drunken tales, slow as snails, with a girl I barely knew
In the baggage car we got down so far to play some games that had
No rules

She hit her head on the wall of the car
Her face turned shades of blue
The blood in her hair was everywhere
The consistency of glue

The backdoor of the car didn’t seem so far
So I dragged her across the floor
And pushed her out, wiped my hands on a rag
Let out a great big sigh

You know looking back I kind of liked her smile
Too bad she had to die
