Central Station (Mind the Gap) Songtext
von The Red Flags

Welcome to Central Station

This is Central Station
This is the place that never sleeps
This is the place where people come, people go
And some never leave
Where people get off and get on
Are you in for the ride?
Where people starve with the pigeons
And everybody just walks by

Mind the gap
Mind the gap, mind the gap

Leave your world behind
Enter a place with nowhere to hide
Lie down in the dirt
Run so you don′t get that smell on your shirt


Pearl necklaces and rotten teeth
Sharing the same seats
High on heroin or iced vanilla macchiato
Smelling the same piss
Eight in the morning on a business trip
Watch out for theft
Keep your money safe from the homeless drunks
Who is the real thief?

Mind the gap
Mind the gap, mind the gap

Please mind the gap between the train and the platform

Look at the business men stepping out of their limousines
In suits and silver watches
Walking by lumps of litter and pigeon shit
And people who wake up next to waste containers
To make more and more money and leave the rest to rot
And to never, ever mind the gap

Mind the gap
Mind the gap, mind the gap
Mind the gap
Mind the gap, mind the gap

This train terminates here
