All the Same to Me

Met a man on a train near Santa Fe
Who was dead a minute as a child
Fell off a dock
He couldn’t swim and his heart stopped
A gold snake slid from the sky and swallowed him up
He disappeared inside
He disappeared inside
The train stopped in a field of oil wells
A blind girl needed help getting on
The man was drunk from a flask half full of rum
I shook my head when he offered me some
«Que será,» he said and took another swig
The train roared up a hill of sickly pines
A small boy chased a ball up the aisle
As the black mouth of a tunnel swallowed us up
We disappeared inside
We disappeared inside
(There we go)
