World Beneath the Tracks (by Samm Bennett)

Recorded on June 2, 2010, in a conference room in Ichikawa, Chiba, Japan. Didn't have any instruments with me, so I'm playing a plastic bottle. I believe the brand is Rubbermaid.

WORLD BENEATH THE TRACKS

i want to leave on the midnight train
i want to ride til the wheels wear down
i want to look out the window as the ghosts fly by
as the world beneath the track spins round
as the world beneath the track spins round

i saw a mule break free from his plow
i saw him fly away with the dove
i saw a wounded man in the graveyard
whispering all i needed was love
whispering all i needed was love

i heard the joke about the blind man
heard my sister's voice through the wall
saw my father climb the razored rungs of success
saw him lose his footing and fall
saw him lose his footing and fall

i saw the dancer wrap herself in chains
i heard the silver tongued devil stammer
saw the gambler play the wrong card over and over
heard the clock tick like a sledge hammer
heard the clock tick like a sledge hammer

i want to leave on the midnight train
i want to ride til the wheels wear down
i want to look out the window as the ghosts fly by
as the world beneath the track spins round
as the world beneath the track spins round

You and the water bottle make a nice team.
