Check out the cryptic and scary lyrics to this song:
THE NIGHT TRAIN TO LUXOR
VERSE 1
There is a path that leads too far
There is a lower dining car
From my window seat I see
The black desert blowing free
Far from home and dead to life
Longing only to spend away time
Sheltered here amongst the jewels
At home among a cadre of fools
BRIDGE
Whistling winds
Howl over the sands
Miles away
From any foreign lands
CHORUS
This train goes on and on
The night it never ceases
This train goes where it will
And does all that it pleases
VERSE 2
Ill I rise from my soft chair
To catch a breath of air
The lights pale fogged and cool
Flanked side by side with rules
I make for the cabin door
The air has gone so sour
With every passing breath
My life becomes a mess
BRIDGE
Faint lights go darting by
This train is on the fly
And in the dead of night
Is anxious in its flight
CHORUS
This train goes on and on
The dunes keep rolling over again
The palm trees fly past so fast
I am so lost again
This hardened heart has left a love so far behind
This weary eye has been all but rendered blind
These worn out shoes have seen far better days
My mind is reeling still and life is still a maze
—
Growing pains reside in my stomach
Lungs rasping for the pungent odor
Smokes furls inward to fill the holes
Eyes weeping tears of silver and gold
CHORUS
This train goes on and on
I cannot see the end in sight
I must climb down
Fling myself into the unyielding night
My doom so far is clear
Doomed to consume my fear
As though a food to me
The thoughts they sicken my very being
This train goes on and on
Until the breaking dawn
Whence far from home upon
The wasteland it does yawn
This train empties its soul
It burns and burns so whole
No one escapes the flames
No passenger of this night train
The night train to Luxor
