about

on a train in a strange country...

lyrics

You're on a train in a strange country with a sullen crew
a mysterious plot and you're on the spot and they're looking at you
an imperial sneer from the engineer as the tea is served
you make a rendezvous with a young ingenue with the wicked curves

you are the Scapegoat
cast into shadow
man in a black coat
always seems to follow
he's following you

they suspend the war in the smoking car and the liquor flows
but the lurking fear is drawing near and suspicion grows
then the lights go out and a terrible shout and a shot is heard
no its not your gun but no mother's son will take your word

you are the Scapegoat
cast into shadow
man in a black coat
always seems to follow
he's following you

what can you trust but the shapely bust to lead you?
with a hint of sin she invites you in and feeds you
but then she's screaming and the deputies appear
instantaneously
and take you as if they mean to break you
and that is all you know I fear

you’re the Scapegoat
cast into shadow
man in a black coat
he always seems to follow
he's following you
