Nights Between Stations

Caught when our center was broken Caught when our troubles were true On a three state run, from the merciless sun We ripped up the letters from home Caught on the barbed wire fences Caught in the bones and the thorns Caught in these arms, we will never go wrong When the nights between stations grow long Checked ourself in to the station hotel Sittin' up in a bed made for lyin' The train leaves at dawn, But we drink on and on Catchin' up with the dead and the dyin' Caught on the barbed wire fences Caught in the bones and the thorns Caught in these arms, we will never go wrong When the nights between stations grow long Hey there conductor, spare us your suspicions We're not as lit as we seem Don't offer us somethin', when we're Looking for nothin' Nothin' is the one thing we believed I'm leavin' our suitcase on the platform #5 I'll be damned if I carry it again It's filled with a curse, disappointment and worse And there's enough of that, caught in my head Caught on the barbed wire fences Caught in the bones and the thorns Caught in these arms, we will never go wrong When the nights between stations grow long
