The Train

Should I get a hold on this
The old man said
This train is coming his way
He's got pounds of nothing in a box
It's so heavy
I'd throw it away - lalala
Gonna paint my face bright blue
And find a car, drive it down the coast
Real slow
So if you think you have the time
Please cut loose, pack your bags and come
I'm gonna leave today
We'll fly away
Leave no tracks for anyone to find us
Let's set out, no asking why
And go as far as anyone has gone
Leave the phantoms of our lives behind to cry
Lalala…
I've got a hat on
Do you like my shoes?
Hop aboard, here we go… away
Snow lies on a grassy slope
Sun shines bright
Carries it to sea
Way down the river
Just had a bottle of wine, I'm in the mood
Won't you have some too?
Please have some too
