lyrics

Freak train
freak train
freak train
freak train

o we all are a-barrelling on
shaking and rattling across steels and sleepers
in this closed-up carriage smelling like a barnyard
no — not like a barn, like a l-a-t-r-i-n-e
(on this freak train)
outside the wind is a-whistling like a lonely boy
(freak train)
while in here we’re all bawling in our common misery
or just sitting back vacant with that old dead-eye look
just like antediluvian halfwits drooling at the reddening sunset
on this freak train
freak train
(moanin moanin moanin moanin)
freak train
freak train

o brother, here is a stench that would curl even satan’s lip
o sister, here is a vision to murder sleep (forever)
just look at the donkey girl go hee-haw
and look at the dog-man, he’s barking barking barking
(freak train)
that boy crouching like a wounded sparrow
while Max the Toad he jumps all night from melancholy to violence
the whole lot of us travelling down to the very last sleeper
where them tracks they open up eternal yeah
freak train
freak train
(holy holy holy holy)
freak train
freak train

hoo hoo
with the lord of hosts and all the angels of mercy
freak train
freak train
(holy holy holy holy)
freak train
freak train
