blood on the tracks*

there's blood on the tracks...
and it keeps
spinnin' an' stainin'
these undead remainings

and it heals
and it tears
ev'ry hinge apart...

but yet it feels
like there ain't
any work of art
capable of paintin'
such red and thrillin'
pills as I know
this bloodstain
unwittingly does,

...and yet it kills.
