The Ballad of the Arms of Cable Hogue

Electric train and pony
The lights around your city
The humming of the darkness
Bringing me here
The candles around your city
Boy, this sure looks pretty
Sir, i thank you kindly for bringing me here
For those who lose their lives
For the sake of the midnight hours

Man on the telly with a bullet in his belly
He's dying in the arms of Cable Hogue
He's dying in the arms of Cable Hogue
Dying...

County to county
It's the language of the country
Sickness I so fear
Bringing me here
Electric trains for ponies
That travel, a good story
The history of sad cowboys
Bringing me here
Those that lose their lives
For the sake of the midnight hours

Man on the telly with a bullet in his belly
He's dying in the arms of Cable Hogue
He's dying in the arms of Cable Hogue

See the man on the telly
With a bullet in his belly...
