Graffiti Train
1. I want you to love them,
I want you to care
I want you to give them
hope and save them from despair
[Get
on the ghost train now...]
I want you to respect them,
I want you to feel their pain
I want you to walk into
the pouring rain
Get on the ghost train
now-- now-- now---- ooh---
2. Too many starts and stops in the worst
part of the town
My life is a lonely hell
and I am ghetto bound
[Here
comes the lonesome train...]
There is too much poverty
in the city all around
Crushing all the life of
what was once profound
But now I'm homebound--
home bound-- home bound--- ooh---
[BRIDGE:]
He wanted me to ride the old
graffiti train
He wanted me to witness
and to feel their pain
But nothing'll ever save
them if they don't save themselves
No free ride will ever
pull them up from a living hell
ooh--- ooh---
ooh--- ooh---
3. Angels perched on high; in rhythm
they all cry
to save our souls from judgement
day before we die
[And
the ghost train's soul...]
I want you to save them from
the old train tracks
Box cars shelter from the
cold and race attacks
Graffiti train...
train.... train a-ride--
Train... train... train
a-risin'--
Train... train... train
alive----
Riding on the broken
trains of the dying America
hmmm---
Ride on to another day
Another chance, another
way
Outlaw on the train... I
am free... Oh, Lord!
To paint my Graffiti
train... wooo--wooo-- oooh---
