Ray Manzarek - Downbound Train lyrics



but now we must descend...
for there is another side to this vision.

I found myself on a bar room floor
I had drunk so much I could drink no more,
So I fell asleep with a frozen brain
and I dreamed that I rode on a downbound train.

The boiler was filled with blood and beer
The Devil himself was the engineer.

The passengers were mostly a decadent crew,
Some were foreigners and others I knew.
Rock stars in velvet, gay boys in drag
Beautiful groupies and wicked old hags.
They fed the fire with human bones
While the furnace rang with a thousand groans.

As the train rushed on at a terrible pace
Sulphuric fumes scorched my hands and face,
Wider and wider the country grew
Faster and faster the engine flew,
Louder and louder the thunder crashed
Brighter and brighter the lighting flashed,

Hotter and hotter the air became
Till my clothes were burned
to a brilliant flame.
Then out of the distance there came a yell
"Look here," said the devil, "we're nearing home!"

Oh, how the passengers shrieked with pain
And they begged old Satan
ah, they begged old Satan
well, to stop
oh, to stop that
stop that downbound train.............
