Acela

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

There's a train on a track

Painted silver, blue and black

Heading to Massachusetts

And then it's coming back

And it's entertaining by New Haven

Once you've had yourself a drink or two, ooh ooh

All alone on the Acela

Tell me baby, where the hell are you?

(Acela) Ooh ooh (Acela)

There's a girl on a train

Leaning on a window pane

Reading People magazine

Just to help turn off her brain

And I swear I caught her staring at me

Maybe I've been staring at her too, ooh ooh

Shot to hell on the Acela

Just as well there's nothing else to do

(Acela) Ooh ooh (Acela)

When they come all aboard

You were nowhere to be found

Though you swore you were sure

You'd come with me out of town

And I looked at all the stars

I looked in huts and news

Searched for any sign of you

But you had not left any clues

I was so confused

What was I supposed to do?

Now the world is a blur

And the engine starts to purr

And we're flying through Rhode Island

The conductor calls me "sir"

For your information hits South Station

At about 11:22 (ooh, ooh)

Got to get the next Acela

Got to make my way back home to you

Got to get the next Acela

Got to get myself back home to you

(Acela, Acela)
