Trains Songtext
von Jill Sobule

Time it to the track
With my ear to the rail
Wait for the very last moment to save me
We could fight on top like a western
Jump from car to car
Not noticing the tunnel is approaching
And when we′re in the tunnel
You become another person
And we lay down and let the darkness
Enfold us
Trains
I wish I was on that train
I wish I was on that train with you
Trains
Something about a train
That always makes me think of you
On the Peking to Paris
You're a sculptor, I′m an heiress
I'm running from my husband
You're running from the law


But there′s agents at the border
So I hide you in my cabin
Of course I let you spend the night
Not knowing who you are
And when I let you out
You become another person
And we lay down and let the darkness
Enfold us
Trains
I wish I was on that train
I wish I was on that train with you
Trains
Something about a train
That always makes me think of you
Think of you
Wish I was on that train
Wish I was on that train
Wish I was on that train with you
We′re two hobos on a boxcar
You and your five o'clock shadow
Me and my harmonica and a duffle on a stick
You′re a soldier coming back from war
I'm the lover waiting on the platform
So stingy you′re not sure it's me waving
And when I close my eyes
You become another person
And we lay down and let the darkness
Enfold us
