lyrics

I’m hung in this dark hour
Back in the temple of gloom
Both innocence and beauty are dead
Long before they’ve even bloomed

My life stolen in a moment
Lightening lost in my bones
Spend the nights hunting the dealer
Asking why has thou dealt me so cruel?

All my trains of glory
Have all left the station
Don’t know why I have become such a hollow man
Trading deliverance for these unknown faces
I'm left lingering 'neath the moon
3:29 strike up the tune of
The 3:30 blues

Got an old photograph
Got an old lucky charm
It’s about the only two things I got
That I still hold in these cold arms

I’ve flown once with the wings of love
And I bit in the flesh in lust
Now all the diamonds in my life
Have all turned to dust

All my trains of glory
Have all left the station
Don’t know why I have become such a hollow man
Trading deliverance for these unknown faces
I'm left lingering 'neath the moon
3:29 strike up the tune
The 3;30 blues

Feel like I’ve been done too soon
But the 3:30 blues
Feel like I've been done too soon
By the 3:30 blues
