The train never stops, It circles its circuits There's no on on board, And theres no one to work it The lonesomely captain, Is glued to the windows. A million fly past him Through shadows of ozone Each station he passes, He fondles the brake. His eyeballs turn plastic "I know that mistake" See, what if they steal Yet another train-car? There's pain in his heart, And he won't think that far. So he smudges away, And adds to the pile, Another small tear, Made of grease, blood, and smiles So onto the next, Every station in line, Taunts him, but he's Firmly made up his mind.

The Train
The train never stops, It circles its circuits There's no on on board, And theres no one to work it The lonesomely captain, Is glued to the windows. A million fly past him Through shadows of ozone Each station he passes, He fondles the brake. His eyeballs turn plastic "I know that mistake" See, what if they steal Yet another train-car? There's pain in his heart, And he won't think that far. So he smudges away, And adds to the pile, Another small tear, Made of grease, blood, and smiles So onto the next, Every station in line, Taunts him, but he's Firmly made up his mind.
