Engineer Says
Dr. Dog

Engineer says there's a body on the tracks

Draped in greens and raging rain and want

The color gray was creeping in like bones, like timeless days


Phrases left his body and his memories on those tracks

Calmed his mind and left his flesh and bones

For where are the things?

The shallow digs now he calls The Swamp his home


Baby told the navy to go bring him back

Said the eyes have gone and made him leave


She cause a simple plee:

Make them pay and make them bring my baby back to me


Oh engineer says there's a body on the tracks

Dancing slow and looking left for dead

Phrases dreams of simple things

And the fall of men
