Indigo Girls - Jacob's Ladder/this Train Revised Lyrics
We are climbingJacobs ladderWe are climbingJacobs ladderOut of these boxcarsAnd out of these chambersOut of the bed where we layWith ten strangersWe are climbingJacobs ladderWe are climbingOn jacob, jacobs ladderIts a fish white bellyA lump in my throatRazor on the wireSkin and bonePiss and bloodIn a railroad carOne hundred peopleGypsies queersAnd davids starThis train is bound for gloryThis train is bound for gloryThis train is bound for glory nowThis trainYeahMeasure the bonesCount the facePull out the teethDid you get them all?Do you belongTo the human raceDoctor doctorAre you unkindDo you shock the monkeysCover our eyesWith clear blue skiesAhThis train is bound for gloryAhThis train is bound for gloryAhThis train is bound for glory nowAh ahThis trainHere is a dancerWho has no legsHere is a teacherWho has no faceHere is a healerWho has no handsHere is a runnerWho has no feetHere is a thinkerWho has no headHere is a builderWho has no backHere is a writerWho has no voiceThese are the questionsThese are the answersStacked like woodThis train is bound for gloryThis train is bound for gloryThis train is bound for glory nowThis trainThis train is bound for gloryThis train it carried your mothersThis train is bound for gloryThis train it, it carried your fathersThis train is bound for glory nowThis train it, it carried your sistersThis trainThis train it, it carried your brothers(here is a teacher)This train it, it carried my sisters(here is a writer)This train it, it carried my brother(here is a thinker)This train isThis train is bound for gloryThese are the questionsStacked like woodThese are the answersHere is potentialAnd its gone for good
