Third Rail from Third Rail by mekaloton

caught wind of something i shouldn’t have known
left in a landfill to die here alone
i don’t think it’s fair, no i don’t think it’s fair

don’t live my life, no i just pass the time
now it’s over and i’m lying in a puddle of grime
i don’t think it’s fair, no i don’t think it’s fair

first comes the smell, it’s a horrible thing
then comes the sound of a horrible ring
this is where i died, this is where i died

still soaked in red, where i just met my end
brought back from the dead, just to suffer again
on the other side, i’m on the other side

coming in, coming in
a transmittal i can hear, like a whistle in the wind
coming in, coming in
read the signal loud and clear, artificial waves within
now my work begins

thought you’d give a girl the second degree
sent all your friends a ten-four but now you’re coming with me
i’m in your car antenna while you’re turning the key
i’ll cut the carrier to noise so no-one hears your last plea

speech and song, ring along, through the spectrum
drown your souls in static once i cut and disconnect them
feel the dread, go ahead, try and turn tail
careful not to slip and catch your fingers on the third rail

hearts ripped asunder, the circuit is closed
gone six feet under where they’ll decompose
but i won’t depart, no i won’t depart

just like in life, i’ve been left in the dark
but now i’ve got a current flowing and i’m making a spark
this is just the start, oh this is just the start

coming in, coming in
a transmittal i can hear, like a whistle in the wind
coming in, coming in
read the signal loud and clear, artificial waves within
now my work begins

thought you’d give a girl the second degree
sent all your friends a ten-four but now you’re coming with me
i’m in your car antenna while you’re turning the key
i’ll cut the carrier to noise so no-one hears your last plea

powered on, cold drawn, i’m electric
don’t get too excited or you’ll bite it for my next trick
feel the dread, go ahead, try and turn tail
careful not to slip and catch your fingers on the third rail
