Magnetic Fields, The - Fear Of Trains Lyrics
It was the army train that took her daddy from her
It was the bible train that took her momma too
And that high loud whistle made her horse run away
But the straw the broke the camel's back was you
It was the KKK that took away her past
It was the white man's will that hers be broken
But that barefoot girl could run too fast
[CHORUS:]
Because the world's too cold for a girl like that with a
Blackfoot soul and a cowboy hat
Everything she loved went down the dragon track
She had a fear of trains
In the beet fields of Montana
She's always coming on dead rails
to break the plow and whisper "Honey,
bound to live is bound to fail"
And in a park in San Francisco
her momma shrieks about the Lord
And down the dead rails there's an echo
The wind is whistling all-aboard
[CHORUS]
It was the wagon train that took away her country
It was the oil train that took away her land
She could have been the belle of the ponderosa
but that was not the fat man's plan
[CHORUS]

Magnetic Fields, The Fear Of Trains Comments
Btw for anyone wondering, the fear of trains and/or railroads is called Siderodromophobia.
Magneticfeld
This is sick dude
I heard The Magnetic Fields play this song live at the Fox Theater in Oakland, CA in March 2012. They delivered a magnificent performance!
I just wanted to find out the name for my fear and instead i find my favorite band made a song about it
This is your favourite band and you didn't know their best/best known song? How does that happen?
Whole album underrated as hell.
I was searching up the name of having a fear of trains and I'm not mad I found this
Same with me
Same here
LOve the Magnetic Fields!!
The bridge to this song is so incredibly gorgeous.
I love you love it!
Siderodromophobia
kcidx
Meaning fear of "fast iron"
I've had this on repeat pretty much all day...
Thank you, this has been added to a playlist...
Ay, me entero que también tengo sentimientos <3
@crookandflail1 what in the HAIL are you even saying
@liaquirk Oh yes, I quite agree. He´s rather brilliant, ain´t he?
@famousashtray Apparently so. A shame, as I just re-discovered yesterday how insidiously catchy this song is, front to back. Maybe I'm hearing things, but it sounds like Stephin is singing with a very slight drawl. Regardless of whether he is or not, I always do. It's a good time.
