Lagtrain
Will Stetson
Oh, not again, now the train’s gone and left
And the city’s too far to walk to the end, while I
Can’t call to mind all the words if I try, I find
To pocket them will keep them all alive
Wheeze through the night as my lungs burn inside
As I fake through the day that never subsides if I
Can’t call to mind all the words or the lines, I’ll try
To ride the train wherever it will go tonight
Block out the night all the boring noise that calls me to the world outside
Better not to try, just let me stay alone and well-hidden-shun the light
And look, right there the crosswalk’s waiting, please, hurry up and come to me
The curb restrains and binds my body cut my ties and set me free, I need
Oh, not again, now the train’s gone and left
And the cities too far to walk to the end, while I
Can’t call to mind all the words if I try, I find
To pocket them will keep them all alive
Wheeze through the night as my lungs burn inside
As I fake through the day that never subsides if I
Can’t call to mind all the words or the lines, I’ll try
To ride the train wherever it will go tonight
Riding through the night the evening train is filled with people buzzing all around
Let me clear my mind, until I'm alone and sitting without a sound
Again, oh God, the groups returning
And the school bell it moves you forward
And look
The ticket booth is waiting, please, hurry up and come to me
My hands are full and halt your freedom, cut your ties and set me free, I need-
Wheeze through the night as my lungs burn inside
As I fake through the day that never subsides if I
Can’t call to mind all the words or the lines, I’ll try
To ride the train wherever it will go tonight
Oh not again the train has gone and left: The town will never end
The wind will cut to bits the world below, please leave me be, don’t go
The words I couldn’t call to mind, it’s fine if you just let them be
If that would mean that you would stay with me just like the train, I need
Oh, not again, now the train’s gone and left
Oh, not again, now the train’s gone and left
And the city’s too far to walk to the end, while I
Can’t call to mind all the words if I try, I find
To pocket them will keep them all alive
Wheeze through the night as my lungs burn inside
As I fake through the day that never subsides if I
Can’t call to mind all the words or the lines, I’ll try
To ride the train wherever it is going tonight
