All steam and whistles heading west.

Picking up my pain from door to door.

Riding on the storyline

Furnace burning overtime

Never meant a thing to me. Read 'em as they say and weep. I never felt enough to cry.

When I say that I don't care

It really means my engine's breaking down
    Fm/D            Fm/D
The chisel chips my heart again
    Bb                Bb
The granite cracks beneath my skin

I crumble into pieces on the ground.
