[Verse 1]
He's lGmooking like a sailor
Who hasn't a ship
Same Gmsalty song
And curled up lips
In the laGmnd of the brave
And running out of vain
Waiting foGmr a guy, silver-eyed
Like a bullet train
Kinda Gmwishes that he wouldn't show up
Cause it's all become a stain
Of the terra cotta mud
[Chorus]
WGmay dDmown in thCme valley of Bbthe mud
It Cmopens and cBbloses
BefoAre you can geDmt back up
LGmay dDmown
FacCme and bellBby in the mud
It Cmopens anBbd closes
BefoAre you can geDmt back up
[Verse 2]
He's scGmratching on a ticket
With chewed up nails
FoGmllowing a rainbow
That's grown too pale
Red Gmlights paint the strip in neon blood
GamblGming on a ride so he raises his thumb
Which Gmraised his eyes
But nothing seems to come
ThiGmnkin' bout the train
Hauling terra cotta mud
[Chorus]
WGmay dDmown in thCme valley of Bbthe mud
It Cmopens and cBbloses
BefoAre you can geDmt back up
LGmay dDmown
FacCme and bellBby in the mud
It Cmopens anBbd closes
BefoAre you can geDmt back up
[Bridge]
Gotta Gmcrawl out of the Bbvacant lot
But the hFelping hands
Have alAml been burned
CriGmed wolf, a thBbousand times
Used up Fevery line
Lady CmLuck won't Dmturn againGm

[Verse 1]

He's looking like a sailor

Who hasn't a ship

Same salty song

And curled up lips

In the land of the brave

And running out of vain

Waiting for a guy, silver-eyed

Like a bullet train

Kinda wishes that he wouldn't show up

Cause it's all become a stain

Of the terra cotta mud

[Chorus]

Way down in the valley of the mud

Before you can get back up

Face and belly in the mud

A Dm

Before you can get back up

[Verse 2]

He's scratching on a ticket

With chewed up nails

Following a rainbow

That's grown too pale

Red lights paint the strip in neon blood

Gambling on a ride so he raises his thumb

Which raised his eyes

But nothing seems to come

Thinkin' bout the train

Hauling terra cotta mud

[Chorus]

Used up every line
