Train of Consequences Lyrics
I'm doing you a favor
As I'm taking all your money
I guess I should feel sorry
But I don't even trust me
There's bad news creeping up
And you feel a sudden chill
How do you do? My name is Trouble
I'm coming in for the kill...
And you know I will
Set the ball a-rollin
I'll be clicking off the miles
On the train of consequences
My boxcar life o' style
My thinking is derailed
I'm tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences
There ain't no turning back
No horse ever ran as fast
As the money that you bet
I'm blowing on my cards
And play them to my chest
Life's fabric is corrupt
Shot through with corroded thread
As for me I hocked my brains
Packed my bags and headed west
As I'm taking all your money
I guess I should feel sorry
But I don't even trust me
There's bad news creeping up
And you feel a sudden chill
How do you do? My name is Trouble
I'm coming in for the kill...
And you know I will
I'll be clicking off the miles
On the train of consequences
My boxcar life o' style
My thinking is derailed
I'm tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences
There ain't no turning back
As the money that you bet
I'm blowing on my cards
And play them to my chest
Life's fabric is corrupt
Shot through with corroded thread
As for me I hocked my brains
Packed my bags and headed west

Indeed. Its about a mans gambling problem, he knows that something is not right with this lifestyle, but persuits it...maybe the thrill, maybe thats all he knows, but for whatever he just cant stop.
I love the 2 lines that go... "Set the ball a-rollin I'll be clicking off the miles"
Gambling problem ^ ^
Another great one by Megadeth. Dave Mustaine we love you.
Gamblin'
Obviosuly about gambling like mentioned.
Nick Menza had a gambling problems, it's possible that the song is written about him..
This is my favorite Megadeth song, and quite possibly one of the best metal songs I've ever heard.
"I love the 2 lines that go... "Set the ball a-rollin I'll be clicking off the miles"
You know it man, this song rocks! Although the remaster was disappointing. How do you re-master a masterpiece?
Its a great song. One of the best off the Youthanasia album. 'My thinking is derailed', brilliant.
yeah dude that "my thinking is derailed-oooh" is fuckin tight i had no idea what he was saying for a long time but this song is so fuckin sweet.. kinda different for a megadeth song
