Sometimes We Come Back Lyrics

We were walking in the evening mist

'Bout three AM by old man Vick's

Passing beers between us all

Throwing empties against a stone wall

Then we came upon a ghostly hill

The rain was falling, but all else was still

Ain't nothing but the quiet night

'Til I heard that train coming down the pike

Then a hand pushed me on the tracks

Then one knee was pressed against my back

Then one screamed "this is our revenge"

You snitched on us and the cops dragged us in

That night down at Miller's Place

We robbed the store but you were gone, no trace

Then they scattered just like the wind

As the train came down and ground me to bits

You thought I'd stay buried by the tracks

Well guess what, sometimes we come back

To haunt and stalk, and cause a scene

To take revenge, and to watch you scream

We come back

We come back

Sometimes we come back

We come back

We come back

Sometimes we come back

We come back

A year passed down to the day

And the cops still hadn't solved my case

It was suicide they'd say

Just another kid who lost his way

The gang was down at the drinking hall

The kind you see with sawdust on the floor

And when they went for a smoke out back

That's when I appeared right by the tracks

Maggots crawled upon my skin

One eye hanged down way past my chin

Then I stretched my rotted arms

They went white and ran back to the bar

First died just of the fright

The next one killed his son and wife

The third one drank himself to death

The fourth is tied up in some loony bin

You thought I'd stay buried by the tracks

Well guess what, sometimes we come back

To haunt and stalk, and cause a scene

To take revenge, and to watch you scream

We come back

We come back

Sometimes we come back

We come back

We come back

Sometimes we come back

We come back
