Takinatrain Lyrics by Illyah Kuryahkin

Thirtycabminute

1999

[Verse 1]
I'm thinking of my friend
Who lives not far away
And like the time before
I'd like to pass the day
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll make a straight line
As straight as I can take
And when I get there
I'm sure I'll make a few mistakes
[Verse 2]
But it's not serious
And it's not like the end
It's just a chance to change
And break this season's grip
[Pre-Chorus]
It might be over
Before I make you laugh
I now remember
And I'll again look back and say
That I know you've travelled far
And that might be a fine
Enchantment
[Chorus]
When the next chance arrives
Checking the time
Out on a limb
Sitting where cash is slim
Checking the stops
Looking at cops
Writing myself a card
I'm takin' a train
I'm takin' a train
I'm takin' a train
It gets me back to where
I came to live
[Verse 3]
The city's like my brain
And cars are casting spells
The motors hum their tunes
And take us all to hell
[Pre-Chorus]
It might be over
Before I get to cheer
I've cheered before though
And I'll again look back and say
That I know you've travelled far
And that might be a fine
Adventure
[Chorus]
When the next ship comes in
Checking the time
Out on a limb
Sitting where cash is slim
Checking the folks
Looking for jokes
Rolling myself a smoke
I'm takin' a train
I'm takin' a train
I'm takin' a train
It gets you back to where
You came to live
[Outro]
I'll make a straight line
As straight as I can take
And when I get there
I'll make a few mistakes
