Brakeman
Nathaniel Rateliff

I was a brakeman

The sharpest of all them

Hoping to be there in it good

I was a bum rush

(Imparting the self lust?)

It wasn't always understood

I was a (coal man)?

I combed every shoreline

I wanted to damage just a few

Hoping in time it won't be swift enough

And they'll carry us away

and they'll carry us away

I was a cold one

Colder than ever

You feel the chill I left on you

Now back on the brake lines

And steeper than I climbed

Well if there's one will it be you

Take your ______? take your fall, laying your trap for me

Take this wig up off my head, it did what it had to do

It runs back, straight and true

and leaving no (mark?)

Lyrics by Nathaniel Rateliff

  A Lamb on the Stone   Boil & Fight   Boil and Fight   Early Spring Till   Howling at Nothing   I Am   I Need Never Get Old   I'd Be Waiting   I've Been Failing   Laughing   Loot It Here   Mellow Out   Nothing To Show For   Oil & Lavender   Oil and Lavender   Once in a Great While   S.O.B.   Shake   Shroud   Still Trying   Thank You   Trying So Hard Not to Know   Wasting Time   We Never Win   What I Need   When We Could   Whimper and Wail   You Should've Seen the Other Guy
