Train Album

She doesn't own a dress, her hair is always a mess
If you catch her stealin, she won't confess
She's beautiful
She never compromises, loves babies and surprises
Wears hi-heels when she exercises
Ain't that beautiful
Meet Virginia
Well she wants to be the Queen
Then she thinks about her scene
Pulls her hair back as she screams
I don't really wanna be the queen
Her daddy wrestles alligators, Mama works on carburetors
Her brother is a fine mediator for the President 
Well here she is again on the phone
Just like me hates to be alone
We just like to sit at home, and rip on the President
Meet Virginia
Well she wants to live her life 
Then she thinks about her life
Pulls her hair back as she screams
I don't really wanna live this life
She only drinks coffee at Midnight, when the moment is not
right, her timing is quite-unusual
you see her confidence is tragic, but her intuition magic
and the shape of her body - unusual
Meet Virginia-I can't wait to 
Meet Virginia-Yea
Chorus I & 2

I never been on a railroad, as many times as they pass me by
I never crashed in the desert or seen a rodeo
I don't know much about the world wars or Vietnam
I've yet to read about Uncle Tom
Never climbed a real rock or seen Colorado
Am I the son I think I am
Am I the friend I think I am
Am I the man I think I wanna be - hey
I never had a day where money didn't get in my way
I never listened to much Elvis
I can't remember a warm December
Am I the son I think I am
Am I the friend I think I am
Am I the man I think I wanna be - hey
Cause I'm here for my sanity sanity
I am here for you
I'm here for your fantasy sanity, I am here 
I am
Am I the son I think I am
Am I the friend I think I am
Am I the man I think I wanna be 
Cause I'm here for my sanity sanity I am here for you
Whether or not I'm walkin in
Whether or not I'm walkin out
I'm always here for you

Sweet dreams from Texaco, and I know your mind is on
its way to Mexico, sweet Jesus is on his way to take
you on his way down
You get your fill of what you like and you fill your head
with what you might want yourself to be when you're ready
But if you leave
It's gonna get a little easier to break down
And if you leave
It's gonna get a little bit easier for you to break down
My new dress is your new way out, my new way is your new
dress, and you look fine
But your new belief is my regret and my regret
leaves you to believe that we have found the line
And if you leave
Take me along, anywhere is ok
And if you leave
Take me along, anywhere is ok
Think back and you can feel me movin through you
It's easy when you try
Think back and you can feel me
Well you won't feel me
You can't feel me if you leave
And if you leave
You won't feel me

So your tired of wakin up on empty
You left for something that ain't real
So you think a couple of familiar faces
is gonna turn it all around
You wanna be where they still pump your gas for you
where they remember your name
They think that you are some beauty queen
or somethin better
where they remember your name
Ain't it good to think about the weather
Doesn't seem to be time for that no more
It's hard to hear when you're busy sayin what you want said
Well what you want said, it ain't clear
You wanna be where they still open doors for you
It's not hard for them to remember you at all
They light your cigarette and tell their friends
you used to love them
Where they remember your name
More forgiveness
More time away from feelin like you do today
More forgiveness
More time away from feelin this way
It's easy when you laugh, reminds you of you
It's easy when it's easy, it still ain't easy at all
So you're tired of wakin up on empty
You left for something that ain't right, ain't right
You wanna be where they still pump your gas for you
where they remember your name
They think that you are some beauty queen
or somethin better
where they remember your name
More forgiveness
More time away from feelin like you do today
More forgiveness
More time away from feelin this way

Staring at the dark again, you left your silhouette upon my pillow
Right inside the night, I'm waiting for the light, seems like 
I'm in the middle
Workin for something that I can't touch and sometimes
can't even believe in - woh
Cradled by the hands of fate the faith that 
sometimes wraps around too tight - so tight
They call me free - But I call me a fool
They call me free - But I call me a fool
Well I look back at April, but she won't look back at me
No, no, no
So I pray in May for June to stay, but she just came
to wash into the sea - away
They call me free - But I call me a fool

Slipped down to Mexico, started messin with her yellow afro
Slipped down behind the sheets, started talkin bout Pistol Pete
Slipped down to the African, started talkin bout what she can do
Well here we are again, back where we started
Slipped down to the dark again
You left your silhouette on my pillow - hey
Well I'm right inside the night, I'm waitin for the light
Seems like I'm in the, seems like I'm always in the middle
They call me free - But I call me a fool

The color of my hair is changing, my skin is soft
too soft for a man my age, and I am never alone
Where is time taking me
Nothin is real, this is how I feel
And nothing is wrong but everything takes too long
How did this end up me against you
With everything that I say, and everything you do
Your smile is changing yea, where is time taking you
Cause nothing is real, this is how I feel
And nothing is good, but I don't mind being blind
if you don't mind doing time
Nothing is wrong but everything takes too long
Hey by the way, when I fell to your
waste side, did I crash or just slide
Hey by the way, when I pulled myself up 
To your waste side did I hurt you or just slide in
So this is how it feels to get a little older
and some would say wiser
But we know what that means, maybe not
when maybe that's what that means, maybe not
Cause nothing is real, this is how I feel
And nothing is good, but I don't mind being blind
if you don't mind doing time
Nothing is wrong but everything takes too long
Hey by the way, when I fell to your
waste side, did I crash or just slide
Hey by the way, when I pulled myself up 
To your waste side did I hurt you or just slide in

Scarlet your eyes, cover your face
If I could dance, or stay in this place
I would be King and you would be mine
I would be day and you would be time
Eggplant and Caviar for you
For you for you for you
Eggplant and Caviar for you
Hold up my wings cause you are the sky
Paint me by numbers and don't ask me why
Cause I am in bloom and you are perfume
And you are perfume and you are
Eggplant and Caviar for you
For you for you for you
Eggplant and Caviar for you
for you for you for you - ah
Apple Pie or Apple seed,
all the mouths that I must feed
Cold sheets or Tumble weed
all the ones that I must need
I would be King and you would be mine
I would be nine and you would be Mother Time
Eggplant and Caviar for you, for you, for you
Apple Pie or Apple seed,
all the mouths that I must feed
Cold sheets or Tumble weed
all the ones that I must need
All the ones that I must need

Texas are you my friend, you live so close to the end
Texas are you my friend, cause I'm afraid of you
Hey Maine hey, you're a little too high for me
And Fla you're just a little too low
D.C. you could be the end of me
I think I'm movin to Idaho
I ain't afraid of you

Oo, people on the outside lookin in
Mother Nature shakes, what then what then
Oo, people on the outside lookin through
she'll shake you to Idaho, that's what she'll do
Oo, Oo Carolina Brother's you make me crawl under the covers
I just can't get myself to go, oh no
Hey Joe I see your name too, but there is nothin that they can do
I think I'm movin to Idaho
I ain't afraid of you

Oo, people on the outside lookin in
Mother Nature shakes, what then what then
Oo, people on the outside lookin through
she'll shake you to Idaho, that's what she'll do

It's been days since I been doin well
since I don't feel like hell or crawlin under you
It's been crazy feelin like I do. I'd like to blame it all
on you for crawlin under me-Yea
Am I wrong for takin this so hard, for tearin me apart
tearin me apart, partly tearin me a whole in my heart
Hey is everybody right, have I become so uptight, I'm givin it away
And if blame is the answer, it's under control
And if shame is the answer, I'm sellin my soul
And if pain is the answer, I've seen it all
Hey Hey Hey, I'm tryin' to calm you down
Don't seem to see it the way I see it
Round & Round & Round
Everybody's feelin uptight
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey is everybody is everybody on
the same page, am I just one to move about the house this way
And if blame is the answer, it's under control
And if shame is the answer, I'm sellin my soul
And if pain is the answer, I've seen it all
Hey Hey Hey, I'm tryin' to calm you down
It's been days since I been doin well
Since I don't feel like hell or crawlin under you

Don't talk too fast to me-slow-I wanna know
Share your philosophy before you go-I wanna know
If I knew better, I wouldn't wanna say
If I knew better, I wouldn't let the words feel this way
Cold, so cold, like I woke up on the street
But isn't that the payback for being indiscreet
If I knew better, I'd climb up on my ego like a child.
If I knew better, I'd knock down the flag 
on your shoulder that's Swaying
If I knew better-I wouldn't change a thing 
So don't you talk so fast to me, slow I wanna know

Now don't look down
'Cause you might just see what's in the middle
Rumor has it you've been lookin for me
But there ain't much left of me to see, yeah

Now don't go down
Don't put your face in the place of the middle
Your lamp is about to shine
For a fee you'll be happy to be mine

Look at yourself child
You're the wife of a life on the street that will beat on your back
'Til you wait on the track for a train in the rain and it's comin' fast


Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh Train
You go so fast
It's a race for the place in the runnin'
Well it won't take long 'til it brings you down
You're in line just to waste your time
Just to waste your time, just to waste your time
In the big town

Look at yourself child
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh Train

Well It's about a quarter to four
And I'm not ready to hit the floor
Sixteen and I've been on down and my cold neck
And the back of your leg starts to drag down my
Starts to drag down my street
Here it comes again, ooh yeah

Look at yourself girl
Look at myself boy
Look at yourself girl
Look at yourself girl
Look at yourself world

Look at yourself child
You're the wife of a life on the street that will beat on your back
'Til you wait on the track for a train in the rain and it's comin' fast
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh Train
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh Train
You're the wife of a life on the street that will beat on your back
'Til you wait on the track for a train in the rain and it's comin' fast

Home all night, nothing's wrong
It's just my nature's got me holding on too tight
So you say you're on the way
Got me feeling like I should be holding on this time
I'm heavy on my knees, yeah yeah...
Oh my, step and slide
Hope they're gonna make you feel like someday I will, I know
Cause every girl I know has to go out to dance
Before my butterfly has its chance to fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
And I know that I'll fall in too deep
You'll wait till I fall asleep before you fade away.. fade away
And I know that it won't take too long
Before you go and find something wrong, and fade away.. fade away
I'm heavy on my knees, yeah
I'm heavy on my knees, yeah
Oh, you? What you do?
Seems you got me feeling like you want me to
Feel..
But it's alright, how we'll be
Nothing that you want from me
Fade...
I know that I'll fall in too deep
You'll wait till I fall asleep before you fade away.. fade away..
And I know that it won't take too long
Before you go and find something wrong and fade away... fade away
And I know that I'll fall in too deep
You'll wait till I fall asleep before you fade away... fade away...
I'm heavy on my knees, yeah..
I'm heavy on my knees, yeah...
I'm heavy on... I'm heavy on... I'm heavy on my knees... yeah...
