Lyrics

Only The Dead Get Off at Kymlinge

This is your engineer

Your engineer speaking

I'm a little drunk tonight

And I've been tweaking

Got a hole in my head

Got a hole in my heart

There's a hole in my shoe

Just been playing my part

To drive this train tonight has been such a privilege

Only the dead get off at Kymlinge

To bring you safely home has been my privilege

Tonight the dead get off at Kymlinge

Old Casey Jones, so high on cocaine

What a fuckin' amateur

I got bees in my brain

I got bees in my brain

I got bees in my brain

I got bees in my brain

And they've been drinking champagne

To drive this train tonight has been such a privilege

Only the dead get off at Kymlingе

To bring you safely home has been my privilegе

Tonight the dead get off at Kymlinge

To drive this train tonight has been such a privilege

Only the dead get off at Kymlinge

To bring you safely home has been my privilege

Tonight the dead get off at Kymlinge

Stop freaking me out

Stop freaking me out

Stop freaking me out

Stop freaking me out

Stop freaking me out

Stop freaking me out

Stop freaking me out

Stop freaking me out
