The odds are not in your favor.
Chances are you’ll drown.
And just when you think you’ve bottomed out,
The depths will find more down.
It’s a race to Hell and
You’d do damn well to
Learn a little language.
See, here they say
No! Not today!
And then they stay that way…
Tomorrow’s the same.
It’s just a game but
You don’t know the rules.
Here air’s worth more than jewels.
And the leader never fools but
They are fooled ’cause
Fooling is the game.
Get your tickets ready please!
Oh uh, hello there. How you doing?
Listen, my name is Barry and I'm the Conductor on this train so if you need anything, you just ask me, okay?
The bathrooms are right over there and please, pick up after yourself on account of I clean the place, too.
And uh, seeing as you're not from around here I'll just tell you straight out - although every story you might hear on this train is true, some stories are "truer" than others, if you can read between the rails...
Anyway, thanks for stopping by and, y'all come back now, y'hear?
Have a grand day, friend.
