 I was a brakeman,  the sharpest of all them
 Hoping to be there and it good
 I was a bum rush,  and pardon the self lust
 It wasn’t always understood
 I was a combing  I comb every shoreline,  I wanted to damage just a  few
 Hoping our timing won’t be swift  enough
  And they’ll carry us away.  And they’ll carry us away
 I was a cold one,  colder than ever,
 Did you feel the chill I left on you
 Now back on the brake lines  and steeper than I climb
 Well if there’s one well it be you
 Take your rind,  take your fall  and laying your trap  for me
 Take this wig  up off my head  it did what it had  to do
 It runs back,  straight and true  and leaving no more
