"My personal limbo was a train platform, Tommy. It was a train platform. No matter where I look... no matter where I went... just concrete walls, all around. And a tube for the track, running straight along. It doesn't matter what I did, Tommy, I could claw at the walls, I could bash on the doors, I could scream for help, I screamed until my lungs were sore, 'till my voice was hoarse... and nothing ever changes, nothing ever comes, nothing ever helps you, Tommy."

There's an old black train a-comin
Scraping long the iron
You don't need no ticket, boys
It'll take you when it's time

Come on now, young strangers
Weren't you someone's son?
How'd you find this depot
cause it ain't where you belong

You will pass a graveyard
Stones worn by the years
The train'll stop a minute
But don't let it leave you here

The coachman is my brother
The engineer's my friend
They'll get you more acquainted
By the time you reach the end

This journey is a long one
It'll take you all around
Life rushing by your window
Before it lays you down

Now, where this old train's going
You can't come back from
Leave your baggage here
Because we'll need it when you're gone

— "Old Black Train", Over the Garden Wall
