The End Of The Line - Dan Bull/The Stupendium
Lyrics by:Dan Bull/Gregory Holgate
Composed by:Dan Bull/Gregory Holgate
Sleeping deep beneath the sleepers of the isle
There's a demon creature dreaming heathen and reviled
Sees no rhyme or reason but for feasting when he's riled
Better let him be lest you are sure to see the smile
Of sixteen tons of scurrying death
Smoldering souls through funnel of red
With a pick-like grin on the front of his head
Sat atop a most illogical number of legs
Tickets please Let me tell you the tale
Of a wicked beast that'll follow your trail
Through the valleys and vales on your tail day and night
There'll be chaos on the rails when the railway strikes
Stop take stock try to gauge the situation
'Fraid your train has been derailed
There's no use waiting in the station
Every engine's been dismantled
There's no other service coming
Charles is leading by example
He's the only train that's running
All in all we're in a doozy of a mess
So all aboard the WTF express
Should you want to stay safe
Then I wouldn't play games
Or you'll learn another way of saying
Run away Train
Every life has a light in the tunnel ahead
But you might just find that behind it instead
Of a heaven is an engine and the devil inbred
And we're next on the menu if we've left him unfed
Charlie
Your timetable says it's almost time for tea
Charlie
And we've laid on quite a spread as you can see
There's a choo-choo train
Coming after you
Food chain's
Gone a bit askew
Won't catch that train
If it's gonna catch you
For certain worse than what they say to mind the gap for
The train's not just cancelled it's d**n well deplatformed
Since it scampered off the tracks to find
A snack from off your back lawn
Couple jackdaws and your cat
And then your dad from off the back porch
He's hungry and he's hunting down the islanders
With a side of any siding-hiding bystanders
Quite queer what his dietary requirements are
But it's pretty clear regardless he's a dining car
Coke Coal Petroleum Alone they'll never do
No this engine sends the scent of rendered flesh
Out from the flue
On this service we'll be serving something rather more unnerving
Chugga-chugging on blood as he chew-chews you
It's all true choo-choos consume fuel too
Humans are a whole new consumable and whole food
Gluten free range and more renewable than coal too
