Stan Ridgway Follow

Comin' into Southbend, headed towards the graveyard shift
Blockin' off the fallen fences there with my hardware grip
Watchin' out and waitin' for a signal seen
That could level out the quiet side

And if you say you're lonely
I'm the one you'll find there on the side
Your one and only
And you will know when this deed has died

I was chasin' a ghost––pale and white
And hard to see
The boys in blue from peculiar school
Are hangin' out in the dark and they're lookin' for me

And if you say you're lonely
I'm the one you'll find there on the run
Your one and only
And you will know when this deed is done

Chorus:
Somebody is walkin' away
While everybody's ridin' on the snaketrain
Somebody is walkin' away
While everybody's ridin' on the snaketrain
Snaketrain

Remember how the wind would blow
And how warm the sun would feel

If you say you were lonely
And you can't decide what's fair is fair
You're dreaming only
And I will try and catch you there
