but you won't step one foot off if your debt isn't paid

Some will offer silver, Some will offer gold

B7 Em Am B7 Em

You can offer all in vain but your soul is already sold

Em Am

5 minutes of pleasure will cost you 5 hours of pain

B7 Em Am B7 Em

It's not fair but its the price you pay to ride this train

Am Dm C C/B Am

What you hold valuable will still belong to you

Am Dm C C/B Am

You'll give so much more when your debt comes due

Am Dm C C/B Am

This train runs on heartache, broken dreams, shame, and misery

Am Dm C C/B Am

Your false joy from lust and greed keep us fueled with agony

Em Am

Some will offer silver, Some will offer gold

You can offer all in vain but your soul is already sold

B7 Em Am B7 Em

It's not fair but its the price you pay to ride this train

Am Dm C C/B Am

The thirteenth train is faster now, than its ever been
