beck - waitin' for a train lyrics
[the following intro is spoken over someone speaking in french
and english, perhaps giving a french lesson]:
i’m an alien from another sphere. the thing i like about the
earth is the range of colours — fantastic to mundane; brilliant
to dull. as i was penetrating the ozone, i c. perchanced to
notice the orange peel-like quality of the light playing upon the
s. the ocean. i gotta go right now; someone is videotaping me
in my sp-ceship.
all around a water tank
just a-waitin’ for a train
a thousand miles away from home
just a-waitin’ in the rain
i walked up to a breakman
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 b-m
and he slammed the boxcar door
they let me off in texas
a state i dearly love
the moon ‘n’ stars above me… and what else?
(song written by jimmie rodgers and performed by ken)
