Donât set foot over the railway track
The heathens and the spin doctors are waiting round the back
The skies are always sullen and rain races to the tarmac
So donât set foot over the railway track
Donât set foot over the railway track
The grass isnât green, itâs yellow and the pavement is all cracked
The graveyardâs in a coma, the church has got the blues
And Jesus has a nose-ring and Mary has tattoos
And girls paint their skins like corpses and have hair of scouring wire
And the men all look like demons, see them dancing round their fires
Every door has leprosy, every house has got the clap
So, donât set foot over the railway track
Donât set foot over the railway track
Hope youâve not been speaking to the wrong kind of people, Jack
Theyâll screw you soon as look at you if you let them gain a foot
This lineâs God almightyâs way of saying that youâll stay just where youâre put
âCause theyâre all paid up party members with a red streak like a river
Theyâre all standing there on their side shouting âpromise and deliverâ
They are papering their walls with pages of Kerouac
So, donât set foot over the railway track
No, donât set foot over the railway track
