The Gospel Train Lyrics

stone warnings on the radiogram
SOS, distress signals from the apogeal goin' to the mainland
mountains tumblin into the sea
phone lines open'd up so deep you can hear the devil breathe
you better pray, sister pray
'cause there ain't no better way that is safe, everybody needs savin'
you better stay, brother, and don't you stray
from the righteous path you're walkin'
everybody's talkin' about it

the gospel train is comin'
now don't you want to go, yeah?
and leave this world of sorrow
the troubles will be gone
mayday! mayday! captain signals awful dire
can't call the coast guard, the radar has no wire,
satellite systems comin' down like fallin' stars,
drivers lookin' for the roadmap, yeah, nobody knows where in the world they are

the gospel train is comin
now don't you want to go, yeah?
and leave this world of sorrow
the troubles will be gone
you better pray... sister pray. 'cause there's no better way that is safe, everybody needs savin'.
you better stay, brother, and don't you stray.
from the righteous path you're walkin' (the righteous path you're walkin')

'cause there aint no better way

ohh, can't you hear it run?
don't you want to go?
and leave this world of sorrow
'cause there ain't no better way
