Forget the railroad and the passenger line
They lead only to the dark edge of town
Forget the highway
Are the engines alive if they’re only driving you down?

So lay me down
And lay me out
All you needed was some time
Lay me down
And lay me out
All you needed was some proof that you’re alive

Forget the chain gang and the prisoner songs
I was never that tough on crime
Forget the landmines and the dangers below
We have made a hole in the sky

Forget the river, if the water runs out
We’ll go swimming down in the aisles
Forget the stage light we are travelers now
We look only to the sky
