Penn Station Lyrics
well i died in penn station tonight, oh lord
well i died in penn station tonight, oh lord
in penn station tonight
with a toothbrush and a comb
five dollars and dead cell phone, oh lord
no photo i.d.
no past to torture me, oh lord
no past to torture me
well i died in penn station tonight, oh lord
well i died in penn station tonight, oh lord
in penn station tonight
oh how sweetly i do sleep
on the bathroom tile where the porters sweep
with a nickel in my hand
like the star of bethleham, oh lord
like the star of bethleham
and i know on track number seven
there's a train to take me to heaven, lord
but a faster train's coming near
that the devil engineers, oh lord
that the devil engineers
well i died in penn station tonight, oh lord
well i died in penn station tonight, oh lord
in penn station tonight
and i know on track number seven
there's a train to take me to heaven, lord
but a faster train's coming near
that the devil engineers, oh lord
that the devil engineers
well i died in penn station tonight, oh lord
in penn station tonight
five dollars and dead cell phone, oh lord
no photo i.d.
no past to torture me, oh lord
no past to torture me
well i died in penn station tonight, oh lord
in penn station tonight
on the bathroom tile where the porters sweep
with a nickel in my hand
like the star of bethleham, oh lord
like the star of bethleham
there's a train to take me to heaven, lord
but a faster train's coming near
that the devil engineers, oh lord
that the devil engineers
well i died in penn station tonight, oh lord
in penn station tonight
there's a train to take me to heaven, lord
but a faster train's coming near
that the devil engineers, oh lord
that the devil engineers

It's pretty obviously about a homeless person who dies in a train station (specifically penn), right?
