I'm doing you a favor
As I'm taking all your money
I guess I should feel sorry
But I don't even trust me

There's bad news creeping up
And you feel a sudden chill
"How do you do? My name is Trouble"
I'm coming in for the kill

In for the kill
Oh, and you know I will

Oh, set the ball a-rolling
I'll be clicking off the miles
On the train of consequences
My boxcar life of style

My thinking is derailed
I'm tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences
There ain't no turning back, oh

No horse ever ran as fast
As the money that you bet
I'm blowing on my cards
And I play them to my chest

Life's fabric is corrupt
Shot through with corroded thread
As for me, I hocked my brains
Packed my bags and headed west

I hocked my brains
Headed west

Oh, set the ball a-rolling
I'll be clicking off the miles
On the train of consequences
My boxcar life of style

My thinking is derailed
I'm tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences
There ain't no turning back

Oh, set the ball a-rolling
I'll be clicking off the miles
On the train of consequences
My boxcar life of style

My thinking is derailed
I'm tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences
There ain't no turning back

Set the ball a-rolling
I'll be clicking off the miles
On the train of consequences
My boxcar life of style

My thinking is derailed
I'm tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences
There ain't no turning back
