Lyrics for White Train

Standing on my doorway I wondered why his hand was painted red It's just a scratch he said Here we go again We stumbled to the car By the time we hit Prince Henry's he was white I said you looked such a sight He said I don't feel no pain And I know just what to do And I know it's nothing new We've been through this before But I don't follow Why must it be you On a white train? I stuck until the end Though you said I was no friend But you were blind You really lost your mind On a white train Some will swill and some will sip Some just find a place where they don't slip Others take a trip On a white train And I know just what to do And I know it's nothing new We've been through this before But I don't follow Why must it be you On a white train?
