Message to Maisie Lyrics by Railroad Jerk

Rarities

0

Out here in the dark, there's a cold awful laughing
Laughing for the length of the ride
And if you listen for the trill of the whistle on Tenth Street
You'd swear someone's inside
Yes, I'm sitting in the back of a Mississippi subway
Scratching her name on the seat
Yes, a mystery she was, in a manner of speaking
But she used me as a figure of speech
Oh, when I was twenty and one back in '85
I learned well how to hate
And with a textbook and a crowbar I uncoverеd all the secrets
Oh, I was not too latе
It's funny, all the things that in younger days I hated
These days I'm trying to become
Standing now in the light of a double-barreled shotgun
Trying hard not to look dumb
A word [?] now that I consider true
Later I'll use to cut her down
Now I sit here on the bench in the back by the jukebox
Looking for the lost and found
So send me a package, rain-soaked or torn apart
Ten pounds or just one ounce
With a five-dollar bill or a penny or a nickel
It's the thought that counts
This song is a message to Maisie
This song, in New York City
