Lyrics:
One, two
Warm night, can't sleep, too hurt, too weak, gotta call her up
Dial that number, no one answers 'til it's two o'clock
And if by
Down at the railroad station my suitcase settin' by my side
Got no high hopes of leaving I'm just watching the trains go by
Watching the trains go
The downtown trains are full with all those Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds
You wave your hand and they scatter like
I've been seeing you laugh
But you turn it into a frown again
I can't win with you at all
Missing the point just to be blue
Waiting for the train
down
Walkin' by the river, walkin' in the rain
Down by the depot waitin' for the train
Long time gone is the evening train
Long time blues is an achin'
ordinary
I met the captain's daughter before the ship went down
She was dancing on the water while I was sinking down
She took my by the hand and drew me
whipperwill.
I've seen the ghost of the midnight train.
And I still love to walk alone,
Down by the old union station in the rain.
Now I don't know where you
manned the fleet
The trucks full of products for the modern home were set to roll out
Into the street of ordinary people
Tryin' to make their way
will say
"Have your lunch; take a minute and have a good day"
Take a good look around when on a train or a bus
See the ordinary people, who don't
cry?

Leaving on a Southern train
Only yesterday you lied
Promises of what I seemed to be
Only watched the time go by
All of these things
I can't move a mountain top
Everything's ordinary on my block
I don't drive a beautiful car
And I don't own an elegant home
'Cause I don't have
I can't move a mountain top
Everything's ordinary on my block
I don't drive a beautiful car
And I don't own an elegant home
'Cause I don't have
driver
I'm a runaway train driver,
Heading off the rails
I am no ordinary vandal, oh no
Hanging on to the dead man's handle
And I'm never going
and two for me by tonight
I'll be
Loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain
One more time tonight
I'm
above
That you'll come riding back to me
On a train of love
I walk down to the station
And watch the trains go by
And stare into my coffee
Just
Found my love by the gaswork croft
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town
I heard
Downtown trains, ooooh
They go by,
Oh oh...
Downtown train
Downtown train
Downtown train
Downtown train
You know that I'm bound to fall
Downtown train
The walls are built up stone by stone
The fields divided one-by-one
And the train conductor says
"Take a break, Driver 8, Driver 8, take a break
you say hello
Would give an ordinary day a lovely glow!
I'll never let a day pass by
But that I'll see you face,
And thrill to every tender sigh
the train, okay, you hear it constantly)
(I think the train is a way to find your way out of this life)
(If you get hit by it)
A couple of kids got hit by
See most things were made by humans
So why can't we just -
Why can't we just redesign?
Tell me are you gonna keep on waiting?
Or do you wanna be
many.
The ordinary miracle.
A common kind of miracle that runs right by
or maybe it's too gradual to catch your eye
so you miss it.
A sudden bolt
Has got him by the balls
Oh, he picks up Gideons bible
Open at page one
I think God he stole the handle
And the train it won't stop going
No way
the kettle black
Cause the train's all runnin' on the same ole track
Can't feel nothing but your life flyin' by
You got trouble on your hands, trouble on your
