Burnin' Train

Zero's my number Time is my hunter I wanted you to heal me But instead you set me on fire We were out over the borders I washed you in holy water We whispered our black prayers And rose up in flames Take me on your burnin' train Take me on your burnin' train White sun burnin' Black wings beatin' I ran my fingers 'cross the hollow of your stomach As you lay breathing With our shared faith Rising dark and decayed Take me and shake me from this mortal cage Take me on your burnin' train Take me on your burnin' train Something's shining in the light 'neath your breast The thick smell of you on my chest Your bed of thorns I brought you shining gifts Wiped the sweat from your brow And I touched your lips Sheets stained with sweat Outside the endless rain Darlin' I'm blessed in your blood And marked by Cain Take me on your burnin' train Take me on your burnin' train Take me on your burnin' train --- Burnin' Train - Bruce Springsteen
