Transcontinental Lyrics - Pedro The Lion

Engine severs lower legs 

I feel my bruised heart beating 

Spinal cord remains intact 

Still sending and receiving 

Lying back on shoulder blades 

The cargo rushing past 

Missing limbs beneath the cars 

Twitching on the tracks 

Click clack now handicapped 

North am transcontinental 

I remember as I bleed 

Certain tales of bravery 

A man whose legs were crushed beneath 

A fallen evergreen tree 

He decided he would chop them off above the knee 

To sacrifice his shins and feet to make his torso free 

The luxury of having been spared the hard part 

You'd think would be enough for me to pull this off 

But I'm left to bleed to death, now all the man I've ever been 

North am transcontinental
