Passengers Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Guided By Voices 

Cover art for Passengers lyrics by Elton John

This is my Elton 'Marmite' song. You either love it or hate it. I love it for it's cheery tune, yet negative lyrics.

'A black train built of bones'....I think this line means that the train is dangerous, and Elton is in great peril. Everyone knows trains are made of wood and mucus compound.

I'm guessing it has apartheid connections. South Africa. Bernie is writing as usual (not Elton) Discrimination.
