about

Some of those souls may be bound for a great reward, but most are bound for someplace a little bit warmer. Here the soul leaves the village and boards a train: a one way ticket to hell, where the devil himself is the engineer. Nothing left to do but dance with the skeleton crew.

lyrics

The Porter turns to dust on the baggage carousel
Rusted cup is empty, no more wishes in the well
The coins from my eyelids to pay your fare
Steam from the tracks to slick down your hair

Climb on board, this train leaves on time
Punch your ticket for the end of the line
Look up and down, but can't find a seat
Just rattling bones clapping with the beat

Chorus:
We're going to hell on a skeleton train
Coal smoke running through my veins
Slowly going insane
on this skeleton train

Conductor's eyes are empty, with a shit-eating grin
His teeth clack together singing “come on in”
Run past the Boilerman shoveling the coal
You can see through his rib-cage, you can see through his soul

Chorus

Steering the engine, is a man in black
With a red pointed tail and horns to match
You gotta cut a deal, there’s nothing left to do
Take off your skin and dance with the skeleton crew

Chrous x2

The soundtrack for the foolish Borracho looking for salvation. Finding it in a cup, or on the road, or maybe behind the sofa.
