Train Lyrics by Abbie Barrett

Dying Day

2008

Train is leaving
From the station
Hear the engine quake
I don't mention
As we're boarding
This train has no brakes
So climb into the car
Before that whistle blows
We won't be traveling far
That's something we both know
Train man coming around
To punch our tickets, please
I put my money down
You think your fare's for free
So find us a cozy seat
I'll nestle in real close
And pop champagne so sweet
And then I'll raise my toast
To careless love that rides on faulty wheels
I bring empty bags along
And I hide them overhead
I'll fill them before long
With everything you've ever said
You climb on empty handed
Empty pockets, ample charm
Got no fear of being stranded
Got no thought of impending harm
But me I sense the danger
It might even turn me on
It's a bet that I can wager
That everything will turn out wrong
On rusted rails and a train that won't switch tracks
Well now flashing lights
Never stopped me before
And those ringing bells
Well I'd soon just ignore
So I'll laugh and I'll smile
As we start to gain speed
And some might call that guile
But I call it need
See that vast open land
Once rugged now tamed
By the tracks being laid
Thought I might do the same
You've grown tired of the view
And you want to get off
Let me explain this to you
Babe, that comes at a cost
And when this thing blows apart
And the triage ensues
I'll reach into my heart
And then throw it at you
But don't dare act surprised
Like you never knew
You had something to hide
When you got on board, too
See the train is leaving
From the station
Feel the engine quake
I don't ask you
As we're boarding
Have you seen me break?
