Dr. Dog - Engineer Says lyrics

Engineer says there's a body on the tracks
Draped in greens and raging rain and want
The color gray was creeping in like bones
Like timeless days

Phrases left his body and his
Memories on those tracks
Calmed his mind and left his flesh and bones
For where are the things?
The shallow digs now he calls
The Swamp his home

Baby told the navy to go bring him back
Said the eyes have gone and made him leave
She cause a simple plee: Make them pay
And make them bring my baby back to me
Oh engineer says there's a body on the tracks
Dancing slow and looking left for dead
Phrases dreams of simple things
And the fall of men
