ALKALINE TRIO - Trucks And Trains lyrics

rate me

These days go by like trucks and trains

Some hit so hard you barely feel a thing

Lights out right now back then and forevermore

Lights out left now these robots marching

To the nearest liquor store

There's something green that's leaving town

Always thought it was blue

Always knew I was wrong

Where it goes hell knows

maybe somewhere better than here

And what they say of the grass on the other sides true

Too much time looking up is turning everything blue

Including me - including you

Including you

These times count down like boats and planes

Some wash away in undertow

Some plummet down in flames

Lights out right now back then and forevermore

With sirens on this ambulance is racing

to the west coast shore

There's something blue that's leaving town

We always talked about black we're considering brown

Where it goes hell knows

Maybe somewhere better than here

And what they say of the grass on the other sides true

Too much time looking up's turning everything blue

Including me, including the ocean, including you

Feel the ocean blue

Engulfing you

I view the deep blue sea

It's turning red right in front of me

There's something gray that's leaving town

And it's way beyond me

How it gets off the ground

Where it goes hell knows

Maybe somewhere better than here

And what they say of the grass on the other sides true

Too much time looking ups turning everything blue

Including me, including the pilots, including you
