Don't Set Foot Over the Railway Track

Don't set foot over the railway track
 The heathens and the spin doctors are waiting round the back
 The skies are always sullen and rain races to the tarmac
 So don't set foot over the railway track
 Don't set foot over the railway track
 The grass isn't green, it's yellow and the pavement is all cracked
 The graveyard's in a coma, the church has got the blues
 And Jesus has a nose-ring and Mary has tattoos
 And girls paint their skins like corpses and have hair of scouring wire
 And the men all look like demons, see them dancing round their fires
 Every door has leprosy, every house has got the clap
 So, don't set foot over the railway track
 Don't set foot over the railway track
 Hope you've not been speaking to the wrong kind of people, Jack
 They'll screw you soon as look at you if you let them gain a foot
 This line's God almighty's way of saying that you'll stay just where you're put
 'Cause they're all paid up party members with a red streak like a river
 They're all standing there on their side shouting "promise and deliver"
 They are papering their walls with pages of Kerouac
 So, don't set foot over the railway track
 No, don't set foot over the railway track
