blue öyster cult - train true (lennie's song) lyrics

Loading...

well, i was standing on the train tracks
on a midnight blue
trying to remember where i left my shoes
and in a natural way
my thoughts returned to you

so i walked into a honky+tonk jukebox saloon
to reflect on my losses and rock to some tunes
i thought it all through
then i figured out what to do

i’d start working for the train, train, feedly+dang
feedle+otten deeten+do dangy+do
feedle+otten deeten+do ding+train+true
i started working for the train when i was looking for you

sprung from the ward
steel brainpan, pity+pity
looked you up in freehold for a face that i could trust

the foreman said you’d left out
in some kind of state
he pointed at the office
it was already late!

i smoothed down my hair
and went to talk to the boss
he was weary, short+tempered
and had one eye on the clock
he said i had just seconds to make my case
i put one hand on his shoulder
and stuck the other in his face

and i said: “feelings, feelings, are somewhat symptomatic of societal abrasions that conform electric static”

he said, “son i don’t think you have that much of a brain”
i said, “you’ve got to have a brain when you’re working for the train”

it’s a long run to trenton
when you start about five
some folks are tired and hungry
some are barely alive

but when that engine starts pumping
those familiar tones
i don’t care where the train is going
cuz i’m already home

i spent a long year
dancing up and down that aisle
pestering my savior just to let me see your smile

the salesman was drunk
my training shot to the fore
i put my shoulder in his gut
and knocked his samples on the floor
and i said: “feelings, feelings, are somewhat symptomatic of societal abrasions that conform electric static”

he said, “son i don’t think you have that much of a brain”
i said, “you’ve got to have a brain when you’re working for the train”

train, train, feedly+dang
feedle+otten deeten+do dangy+do
feedle+otten deeten+do ding+train+true
i started working for the train when i was looking for you

the princeton junction depot
is straight known to be staid
they wear hound’s+tooth and khaki
most have already paid

i looked under my visor
my heart stopped like it got froze
lipstick like a ‘60s ‘vette
and polish on your toes

you had half of a smile
watching me shakin’ like a hound
as triumpth filled my body
missing love had been found

i whooped and called “metuchen”
as i stepped through the door
i put my hands around your hips
and kissed you then and ever more
and i said: “feelings, feelings, are somewhat symptomatic of societal abrasions that conform electric static”

she said, “some folks say you don’t have much of a brain” but “you’ve got to have a brain ‘cause you’re working for the train”

train, train, feedly+dang
feedle+otten deeten+do dangy+do
feedle+otten deeten+do ding+train+true
i started working for the train when i was looking for you

i started working for the

train, train, feedly+dang
feedle+otten deeten+do dangy+do
feedle+otten deeten+do ding+train+true
and now i’ve finally found you

i’ve finally found you
i’ve finally found you
i’ve finally found you
