Man With No Baggage Songtext
von Wüstenberg

The old red train to Austria
Is driving me out of my mind
A dozen tasks I left undone
But my personal gravity
I leave behind

The train guard on the platform
Shouts at the top of his lungs
God damn, get on the train
Today he behaves like a madman
But I feel sane

The city of Frankfurt lies in the fog
It′ll soon be gone as the train rides on
And with it my suitcase
Filled with all of my damage
I'm a man with no baggage
I′m a man with no baggage to claim


The few folks in the train car
They don't even spare a glance
Holding onto their coffees
Wishing their drama could
Be a romance

Behind the steamed-up windows
A man seems to run for his life
God damn open the door
Today he's missing his drive
But I feel fine

The city of Frankfurt lies in the fog
It′ll soon be gone as the train rides on
And with it my suitcase
Filled with all of my damage
I′m a man with no baggage
I'm a man with no baggage to claim

Her face tells she has won and has lost
When she looks at me from the seat just across
I answer her question why I′m on this train
I'm on my way to fill my suitcase again


The city of Frankfurt lies in the fog
It′ll soon be gone as the train rides on
And with it my suitcase
Filled with all of my damage
I'm a man with no baggage
I′m a man with no baggage to claim
