At the railroad crossing
Waits locomotive death
Run the warning light flashing
You'll suck one last breath
You're in a giant hurry
You think you have it beat
You were so self important
Now you're just a big red stain
A stain on the street

You see the children playing there
At train tracks having fun
A woman and her old man
Get picked off one by one
Don't say you can't read English signs
There ain't no court in Hell
Gonna pay you any money
Or put flowers in remembrance
On the spot you fell

You hear that whistle blowing
You better heed its call
You won't be home for dinner
You won't be playing ball
Stop flattening those pennies
Don't be so obtuse
Or megatons will find you
And your brains won't stop going
Till the last caboose
