Do you hear it? Her footstep is on the stair) I saw the train Howling toward me Its light was dazzling Blinding I tried to climb out For just a moment But then I stopped I stopped and listened to the train (The heavy and horrible beating of her heart She shrieks I tell you she is outside the door! We have put her living in the tomb!) And then I looked up on the platform And saw Rose Back from the dead Standing there with her camera I lifted my head And smiled Smiled for the camera You know that moment right before you die Is such a gift Because you get to choose what goes through your head What your last song will be I thought of someone I love very much Smiling in bed Clutching a teddy bear And then I let the train rip through me
