    • Verse 1
    It's 
    a quiet 
    night 
    on main 
    street 

    where 
    the poisoned 
    water 
    runs 

    It'll 
    never 
    be the 
    same 
    street 

    when the time 
    appointed 
    comes 

    It's 
    talked 
    about 
    in 
    whispers, 

    nothing 
    certain, 
    only 
    rumor 
    and 
    clue 

    But the 
    vi
    olent 
    sheet 
    of silence 
    will 
    be shattered 

    when 
    the train 
    comes 
    through 

    Verse 2
    We may 
    only 
    be 
    subordinates 

    but we 
    hear 
    everything 

    All your 
    closed- 
    door 
    conversations, 

    we're always 
    listening 

    We sense 
    frequencies 
    you'd 
    never 
    hear 

    or 
    think 
    to pay 
    attention 
    to 

    And we 
    can 
    tell 
    what's 
    on 
    its way 
    here 

    long 
    before 
    the train 
    comes 
    through 

    Verse 3
    The real 
    news 
    comes 
    in flashes, 

    here 
    and there 
    among 
    the noise 

    Borderland 
    insurgent 
    clashes 

    with 
    the local 
    army 
    boys 

    Who 
    think 
    they've 
    got 
    a handle 
    on 
    the territory, 

    for 
    at 
    least 
    a year 
    or two 

    It'll 
    be too 
    late 
    to get 
    out 
    of 
    the way 
    by 
    the time 

    the train 
    comes 
    through 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 4
    This city 
    is 
    the 
    bearer 
    of 
    an old 

    and 
    secret 
    curse 

    It's not 
    written 
    in 
    your bibles, 

    it's a 
    verse 
    behind 
    a 
    verse 

    Only 
    vis
    ible 
    to 
    an 
    obsessive 
    detail- 

    oriented 
    heathen 
    Jew

    But it's 
    the hid
    den 
    and 
    unspoken 
    that 

    will thun
    der 
    when 
    the train 
    comes 
    through 

    Verse 5
    Yes, 
    we 
    labored, 

    and 
    we 
    built 
    your 
    dwellings 
    here 
    on 
    the hillside 

    The structures 
    set 
    in 
    stone, 

    not 
    a 
    chance 
    they could 
    slide 

    But a 
    great 
    machine 
    can 
    break 
    down 
    sud
    denly 

    if someone 
    removes 
    a tiny 
    screw 

    And the 
    solid 
    things 
    will 
    move 
    in all 
    direc

    tions 
    when 
    the train 
    comes 
    through 

    Verse 6
    They'll 
    tell about 
    your system 

    as 
    a 
    system 
    with 
    no 
    teeth 

    The 
    histories 
    will 
    name 
    us 
    as 

    the people 
    underneath 

    The 
    emptiness 
    you'd 
    only 
    heard 
    about 

    was 
    one 
    we 
    intimately 
    knew 

    But an 
    emptiness 
    is 
    turned 
    into 
    a 
    tun

    nel 
    when 
    a train 
    comes 
    through 

    Verse 7
    Oh 

    A 
    transfiguration's coming, 

    a turning 
    in the 
    song 

    To 
    the brutal 
    static 
    order 
    they've 

    depended 
    on 
    so 
    long 

    This 
    train 
    will carry 
    gamblers, 

    it'll carry 
    us 
    midnight 
    ramblers 
    too 

    Verse 8

    And a 
    broken 
    heart's 
    your 
    ticket 
    so 

    be ready 
    when 
    the train 
    comes 
    through 

    A 
    broken 
    heart's 
    your 
    ticket 
    so 
    be 
    ready 

    when 
    the train 
    comes 
    through 

    Verse 9
    Ahh 

    Outro 1
    Ahh

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
