Lyrics
It was a muddy Monday mornin’
And you let me in
Yeah you let me in
Sign on the wall said no
So you let me go
Yeah you let me go
But how many years away
Can we be?
Before my ashes turn to flame
Daylight slips away
Beat on a train mainline
And I’m feelin’ fine
Yes I’m feelin’ fine
Soap on a rope works well
I figured what the hell
I figured what the hell
But how many years away
Can we be?
Before I see the preacher stare
From my electric chair
It was a bloody Monday mornin’
So you took me in
Yeah you took me in
Now I’m singin’ my same sad old song
And it won’t be long
No it won’t be long
But how many years away
Can we be?
Before our ashes turn to flame
Daylight slips away
