Indigo Girls F/ - This Train Revised (Live) lyrics

We are climbing Jacob's ladder We are climbing on Jacob's ladder Out of these boxcars and out of these chambers Out of the bed where we laid with ten strangers We are climbing Jacob's ladder We are climbing on Jacob, Jacob's ladder It's a fish white belly, a lump in my throat A razor on the wire, skin and bone Piss and blood in a railroad car One hundred people Gypsies, queers and David's star This train is bound for glory This train is bound for glory This train is bound for glory now, yeah Measure the bones and count the face Pull out the teeth Did you get them all? And do you belong to the human race? Doctor doctor, are you unkind Do you shock the monkeys Cover my eyes With clear blue skies This train is bound for glory This train is bound for glory This train is bound for glory now This train Here is a dancer Who has no legs Here is a teacher Who has no face Here is a healer Who has no hands Here is a runner Who has no feet Here is a thinker Here is a builder Who has no head Who has no back Here is a writer Who has no voice These are the questions These are the answers Stacked like wood This train is bound for glory This train is bound for glory This train is bound for glory now This train This train is bound for glory This train is bound for glory This train is bound for glory This train it carried your mothers This train it, it carried your fathers This train is bound for glory now This train it, it carried your sisters This train This train it, it carried your brothers Here is a teacher Here is a writer This train it, it carried my sisters This train it, it carried my brother Here is a thinker This train is This train is bound for glory These are the questions Stacked like wood These are the answers Here is potential and it's gone for good
