lyrics

PINSTRIPE: And finally, my suit. My suit goes with me. My suit stays with me until I’m gone. My suit is my skin. So if any of you buzzards has the guts to skin my corpse, if any of you has the gall to take the last thing a man has, to take his name, I will have you know…

...the corpse I took it off of wasn’t half the looker I am.

Racin’ the freight ‘til it slows in its tracks
Leavin’ the leaps of your heart in suspension
And catchin’ the air in your hands gives ya reason (gives ya reason)
This train of time and unearthin’ is my med’cine

‘Cause there ain’t no other place to be
Oh no ain’t no other place to be
Oh no ain’t no other place to be
Oh no ain’t no other place to be
(Repeat x4)

Bein’ stopped by the blue-bloods and the feds
Is what gets me angry
But keeps me going
And keeps me angry
Makes me mad mad mad

So hop on board and don’t stop
Catch the air in your hands
Leave your heart in the sky
Hear the choo choo scream
The choo choo scream

‘Cause there ain’t no other place to be
Oh no ain’t no other place to be
Oh no ain’t no other place to be
Oh no ain’t no other place to be
(Repeat x3)
