Gospel Train

When my corduroy suit's turned to ashes,
And my socks are immersed in the sea,
Then that gospel train's goin' to take me,
To a land where the tailors are free.

When the asphalt is bent and decaying,
And the bridges are sunk in the tide,
Then that gospel train's goin' to take me,
To a land where the bike lanes are wide.

When my last lentil bin is depleted,
And my stomach distends with the gasses,
Then that gospel train's goin' to meet me,
And we'll go where one loaf feeds the masses.

When the soles in my shoes are a memory,
And the sidewalk is shriveled and forgotten,
Then that gospel train's goin' to take me
Where highways are made out of cotton.

When my krummhorn is covered with leaches,
And my hands have been sold to the hounds,
Then that gospel train's goin' to bring me
Where galactic polyphony resounds.

So farewell you unrefined sinners,
I'm never to see you again,
I've packed up my watch and my peace pipe,
And I'm boarding that old gospel train.
