Your heart is a refrigerator car It's cold and it never waits Frozen breath and frostbite Stacked, unopen crates You never loved your frozen freight Perishables and bloodless meat You rolling snowball soul of sleet You never wait You roll across the desert And clack across the sand Though snakes may fry outside Flowers crumble petrified in your hand Your heart's a paid off porter You lied to spare your soul With one are you blow your brains out And with the other you dig the hole You never loved your frozen freight Perishables and bloodless meat You rolling snowball soul of sleet You never wait Grey ice in your hinges Sliding doors shut frozen locked Airtight every tiny hole With hard white putty blocked You never loved your frozen freight Perishables and bloodless meat You rolling snowball soul of sleet You never wait, yeah

Well I didn't see much future When I left the Christian brothers school So I waved it goodbye with a wistful smile And I left the girls of Tuam And sometimes when I'm reminiscing I see the prefabs and my old friends And I know that they'll be changed or gone By the time I get home again Chorus: And I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Yes I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams Well the ould fella left me to Shannon Was the last time I travelled that road And as I turned left at Claregalway I could feel a lump in my throat As I pictured the thousands of times That I travelled that well worn track And I know that things would be different If I ever decide to go back Chorus: Now as I tumble down highways Or filthy overcrowded trains There's no one to talk to in transit So I sit there and daydream in vain And behind all these muddled up problems Of living on a foreign soil I can still see the twists and turns on the road From the square to the town of the tribes Chorus X2
