Hit By A Train

[Denyer]

I got hit by a train
Now my head is in pain
I'm going insane
'Cause I think it hurt my brain
It might have broke a vein
I really have to strain
Just to try and restrain
From punching John Wayne
I'm like Frasier Crane
Or Saddam Hussein
And EPMD
Don't like a bitch named Jane
I'm trying to regain
What it is that is my name
I think it might be Kane
Or maybe it is Shane
I'm on a campain
And I'm drinking champagne
And I'm flying in a plane
All the way to Spokane
I'm eating some grain
My name's not Loraine
I'm not from the Ukraine
And I don't use propane
And I don't use cocaine
I put water down a drain
Killing things is not humane
I live on a lane
I have a friend named Jermaine
I have to explain
And if I were John Cena
I would wear a stupid chain

I got hit by a train
I got hit by a train
I got hit by a train
I got hit by a train
I got hit by a train
I got hit by a train
I got hit by a train
I got hit by a train

I got hit by a train
now I hurt my head
I really should be dead
Or at home in bed
My mailbox is red
Eat food so I'm fed
Buy a book and it's read
Or the paper gets shred
And peanut butter spread
On the side of the bread
What's that up ahead
These are rhymes that I said
I live in a shed
Got cut and I bled
When my blood shed
Please don't call the feds
They might steal my sled
Or my pants instead
That's something that I dread
You can ask my friend Ted
Or my other friend Ed
Or Ed's brother Jed
Or Ed's brother Jed's
Other brother named Fred
Or Fred's brother Ned
Though Ned's not my friend
He borrowed my car
I got a ticked 'cause he sped
I watch WWF
My favourite wrestler is Ahmed
Ahmed Johnson
I'm glad his parents bred

I got hit by a train
I got hit by a train
I got hit by a train
I got hit by a train
I got hit by a train
I got hit by a train
I got hit by a train
I got hit by a train

"Hit By a Train" by Phuntpaper Orchestra

I swear to God
that I’m not the man you’re looking for.
I couldn’t do that if I tried.

I remember Saturday night
I was sitting at home, watching television
a blonde actress delivered the monologue.

She was the dream of a sleeping tigress,
captive at the zoo.
A dream of sinking teeth into you.

She was hit by a train.
She must’ve been hit by a train.
Cause I know it couldn’t have been me.

You found her body all crushed and bruised
broken like a candle overused.
I broke my hand on the wall when I heard the news.

When we would listen to the trains at night
calling to each other and sharing a light
we always knew they were aching to collide.
Built to collide.

They found my car a block away from the tracks.
Now she’s never coming back with my car.
Hope had never gone so far.

She was hit by a train.
She must’ve been hit by a train.
Cause I don't know a thing at all.

Sitting in this hollow jail
I should’ve it known would end like this.
She took me down when she died.
She gave the train a goodbye kiss.

Hit by a Train by Pumpkin Buzzard

I'm crying in the gateway
Floating beyond the house of Jupiter
And I'm saying
My head aches while I'm on the tracks
And armies tying up weapons inside the moons
If I was a cowboy then I would hear a train
Throw the anchor off the train

If I was hit by a train
I couldn't complain
When you are hit by a train
You're never the same

Born in a cave, lived in a cave, died in a cave
Touched by a mind inside this time
Hit by a train, died in a train, I can't complain
Touched by a mind inside this time
Life is really really hard living on a train car
We're coming back - it's coming down
I hit the ground - the wheels go round

Hit by a Train
(I'm shooting for ridiculous deathmetal on this one)

my god
needs his meat
I need you
witness me
(I forget what I mumbled right after that)

badly beaten, but alive
I tie the chains on while you cry
no one will stop me
I beg you lord, to oversee
sacrifice for your crown
I hear it coming
can't slow down

(Jibberish)

seven
of my prisoners
meet their end
split in two
splattered with goo
time to transcend
transcend

I just realized I didn't even use the title in that. hmm.. ok.

Hit by a train

Rolling, rolling,
your heart was stolen from me.
My love, it's true—
I would do anything for you.
I hear that whistle blow.
There are things you need to prove,
and things that you just know.

| love you, I do.
I would do anything for you.
Tie me to the tracks and you will see
I was made for you and you for me.

It's not my imagination—I've got a gun in my back.
Park at the side of the tracks;
quickly now we're running out of time.
If this is rope, this must be love,
And God above
will see to it that we two meet again.

| love you, I do.
I would do anything for you.
Tie me to the tracks and you will see
I was made for you and you for me.

It's not my imagination.

And I would take a bullet for you.
And I would drag a blade across my wrist for you.
And I would be your damsel in distress
if you would clean up the mess.
And I would fall to Earth from high above;
tell me how to prove my love.

HIT BY A TRAIN / King Arthur

I am the god of locomotives and cabooses
I can tell the future but I can't change a thing
This morning there's this girl who grew up lonely in Las Cruces
Who's been dreaming of LA and what tomorrow's gonna bring.

Her dreams will carry her across the California border
But somewhere outside of Needles in an unexpected rain
Her '97 Nissan will abruptly change its course
Hit by a train.

Right now she's got her suitcase spread eagle on the mattress
Though the contents of her closet are hardly worthy of this trip;
She's considered all her options with an overcoat of sadness
She's not sure she's really ready to parade that Sunset Strip.

She's unaware that this is all in vain futility
That she'll never get to know what things she might have lost or gained
I'm the god of unlit crossings; tonight she'll be
Hit by a train.

I am not rational
I am the ghost of things that no one thinks to fear.
Guardian angel,
I'm afraid you have no jurisdiction here.

I am the god of detours and derailments
I don't change the future, though it might appear I do
This morning there's this girl who's almost bursting with excitement
Who doesn't realize how soon her story will be through.

I am the finisher of journeys just begun
I am the practice that no theory can explain.
She's the protagonist a thousand pages young
Hit by a train.

HIT BY A TRAIN
- Uncle Tex's Hairy Nephew (age 13)

Well I was walking by one day
But didn't manage to see,
A train that came chugging by
Till it ran into me

It wasn't very nice
Flying up into the air,
A bird pecked at my eye and did his business in my hair

I got hit by a train
Just walking by,
When I think of it now
I want to cry

I fell back down again,
The roof didn't break my fall
I landed on a lady
She kicked me in the balls

I fell to the ground,
And howled in pain,
Then very loudly
I cursed that damn train

I was in hospital for months,
In a full body cast
It seemed like forever
But I went home at last

[bwell]

Hit By A Train (The BeWells)

I tuned her out as I turned for the door
Grabbed my coat and stepped out on the porch
Sitting alone with my dog and a beer
She was screaming she'd had it up to here

That was my cue so I went for a drive
Once she starts yelling I've lost the fight
Pulled off the road as I tried to recall
Don't even know what started it all

That's when it struck me like I'd been hit by a train
When I remembered I felt those feelings again
Back to the time when our love was new
Still there after all we've been through
Making it up to her is worth all the pain

(instrumental break)

I realized the weight of a careless word
Letting her down was all that she heard
Oh, what a horrible thing to say
It was my fault things turned out this way

(chorus) That's when it struck me...

I called her up to apologize
All was forgiven as we said our goodbyes
Starting the car I'd been such a fool
8-track kicked in Elvis sang "Don't Be Cruel"

That's when it struck me and I was hit by a train
In that last moment thoughts of her replayed again
Parked on the tracks I was hidden from view
Til my car started and that whistle blew
Lost in thoughts of loving her and no more pain

Lost in thoughts of loving her and no more pain

[Lunkhead]

Hit By A Train by Otalgia
(lyrics by Ken)

Give to me your sacred dreams
of grasping hands and muffled screams
Hidden fires in midnight clothes
trampled down forgotten roads

unleash the demons from my mind

Hit by a train
this ageless game
from darkness black and stormy
for lives lost without glory
hit by a train
but never in vain
for lives lost without glory

Though colorful the masquerade
broken glass reveals the pain
your flame casts shadows on my eyes
from the furnace of history's lies

I will follow unquestioning
to fulfill this destiny

Hit by a train
this ageless game
cold steel reveals
the silver tongues are broken wheels
hit by a train
but never in vain
the silver tongues are broken wheels


lash the sails for heavenly seas
lost and blind for eternity

Hit by a train
this ageless game
this life is not for you
but to serve the multitude
hit by a train
but never in vain
this life is not for you

[a bebop a rebop]

jacob lynn

we were standing in the rain
when you hit me with a train
locomotive come tearing through my soul

the world turned round again
just like it always has, spinning on its axis
nobody knew about the hole in its heart

i steamed on through the night
learning that the only good and right
was how hard you've cried on somebody's shoulder
it don't get easier as you get older
the single solitary rule is don't get cold
before you run out of coal and into the pages of the past

Hit By A Train --- by Electro Martyr

Out of time
Out of place
Wrong time wrong place
To approach the platform

Protective gate
Needed renovation
Needed regulation
To meet the latest standards

Out of time
Impending rush
Pressing forth
To make to make the schedule

Slipped and fell
But grabbed on the gate
Yes the saving gate
That failed the latest standards

Hit by a train
Ambulance takes them away
Anxious throng dismayed
Upset by the new delay
