Ghost Train Lyrics

I ABSOLUTELY love the say this song "moves". It really feels like we're on a train or something.

I think this song is deeper than I can grasp, but what I get from it at the moment is that its about a "Ghost Train" (obviously) and said train has come to take the souls of the dead away.

He talks about having "suicide for his baby", maybe meaning that he wants her to come ride the train with him. Then says "Living up until I want it", maybe meaning living until you're ready to die, or ready to take a ride on the train.

The "Dreamin' down a poison ivy tree" has got me really confused though =^\
