Beck - Waitin' For A Train lyrics
[Beck - Waitin' For A Train lyrics]
The thing I like about the earth
Is the range of colors
Fantastic to mundane brilliant to dull
As I was penetrating the ozone
I perchanced to notice the
Orange peel-like quality of
The light playing upon the… The ocean
I gotta go right now someone is
Videotaping me in my spaceship
All around, a water tank
Just a-waiting for a train
A thousand miles away from home
Just a-waiting for'n the rain
I walked up to a break man
Just to give him a line of talk
He said, "if you got money
I'll see that you don't walk"
"I haven't got a nickel
Not a penny for to show"
"Get off, get off, you railroad bum!"
And he slammed the boxcar door
They let me off in Texas
A state I dearly love
The moon, the stars above me… And what else?
