LyricMeaning

This Train Will Be Taking No Passengers
Augie March

We will adjust to this new condition of living

Like a man with his entrails now out him not in

After certain techniques of torture

Accustoms himself to a new condition of living train


Thoughtful godless men find god in them

At the age of twenty five

But in a year death gains favor

And they think themselves the more alive


You'll find them in the loose caboose

Where the pills are kept and the stupid juice

This one has a sleeping wheel

This one has a willing noose


Onward and on to the ends of love

Pricked vanity, habit and ruse

Onward and on to a premature silence

Where death finds too much use


Fifteen year old whores in training

Eyes a'batting, arms a'flailing, skin aflame

This fire-fanning express


If you're on board amazement follows fear

And rounded by dismay

It takes the corner into the day after today

Which is a father's sorrow


Onward and on to the ends of meanness

Where kindness is the means of the earth

Onward and on, awakening finds us

Too sensual beings from birth


(I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry lady)

(I am sorry, I'm sorry lady, I'm sorry)

Train


Pods of wealthy blonde gobbets

With red rind eyes

Getting pecked at by the heroin sparrows

Of the western skies


It may be married to the tracks

But this train flies and it's taking no passengers

We'll stand on his hand

That's how you pin your man


We'll smash him from Preston to Epworth

Onward and on to the ends of reason

Where malice is the means of the earth

Onward and on, this strange wrought bird


Onwards and over the black coffee earth

Onward and on, this laughing train

To the ends of its low, low mirth


Where the media make it with the media whores

Lady time minces man meat with her contract claws

For a barbecue with the veterans of the talk back wars

In the outback palace of one John laws


O, we will adjust to this new condition of living

Like a sailor with his hands tied behind his back

Imprisoned after sailing into foreign waters unawares

Accustoms himself to a new condition of living


But a shadow falls between this

Hurtling intent and its realization

For its government is rotten

And therefore its civilization

Which is certainly taking no passengers train
