Derailed

shuffle the cards
on a snare drum skin
"knock knock"
let them all in
on the joke
that you`re all in
right now

the event took place
on the Buffalo Nickel
the train derailed
and they sailed
through mid-song

there was a problem with
a thought on the tracks
but the facts grew lazy
and it ended up
an amazing crash

but wouldn`t you know it
they kept on singing
wouldn`t you know it
they just kept on singing
strummin` and thumpin`
they kept on singing
and the horns
kept on wailin`
they just kept on playing

but some went up
and some went down
some wore white
and others frowns
and one was impailed
by his song

there was that problem with
those thoughts on the tracks
but the facts grew lazy
and it ended up
this amazing crash

so shuffle the hearts
of souls from skin
"so long"
did they let them all in?
I hope they let them all
let them all
in
