Caught when our center was broken

Caught when our troubles were true

On a three state run, from the merciless sun

We ripped up the letters from home



Caught on the barbed wire fences

Caught in the bones and the thorns

Caught in these arms, we will never go wrong

When the nights between stations grow long



Checked ourself in to the station hotel

Sittin' up in a bed made for lyin'

The train leaves at dawn,

But we drink on and on

Catchin' up with the dead and the dyin'



Caught on the barbed wire fences

Caught in the bones and the thorns

Caught in these arms, we will never go wrong

When the nights between stations grow long



Hey there conductor, spare us your suspicions

We're not as lit as we seem

Don't offer us somethin', when we're

Looking for nothin'

Nothin' is the one thing we believed



I'm leavin' our suitcase on the platform
