lyrics

they never said about the cold
the way it worms into your bones
steals your breath and leaves you hiding
in a warm bed when the call comes in
a raw nerve to pierce the skin
an urgency for going

it's just a job, it's just a job
it's four days off and four days on
the second try the engine turns
in the blistering cold and then i'm gone

from the highway i can see the fires
the picket signs the overhead wires
and lakeside sleeping, quiet
i kill the siren at the gates
pass through the crowds of expectant faces
apprehension

to all those voices speaking in tongues
to all the blood of killing floor
it's just a job, it's just a job...

..i turn the key and it trembles and starts
pull through the crowd and he's whispering soft
"is that the sun coming over the west"
lay down your head try to get some rest
"don't let them know it was me"

swing low sweet chariot
i can feel it in my bones
sing angels in soviets
coming for to carry me homes
