CYNDI LAUPER - Right Track Wrong Train lyrics

rate me

The train was leaving at 10 after 10

I got to the station just in time to check in

I've been bumpin' my bags all around

I'm trying hard to never knock people down

But I can see I left a few on the ground

And as the train pulls away I can hear the conductor say

Right track wrong train (echoes)

Right track wrong train (echoes)

I'm not to blame (echo)

Right track wrong train... train

I read my schedule but my train wasn't there

I re-read my ticket, it said going nowhere

Everybody had the same tatooed face

All the women and men dressed in lace

I think I gotta get out of this place

I should've got off before the engineer locked the door

Right track wrong train (echoes)

Right track wrong train (echoes)

I'm not to blame (echo)

Right track wrong train, train train train hey !

"Hey that's a neat tatoo you're wearing. By the way where'd you get it ?

Uh huh. Say, is this an express train ? Uh huh.

Snack bar ? Uh huh. Uh huh."

Something is happening so familiar to me

Is this the outer limits like on TV ?

Another empty town fading to gray

Another Coca-Cola sign on the way

Have a cup of coffee, have a nice day

And as the train pushes on,

We're headed for Babylon

Oh no...

Right track wrong train (echoes)

Right track wrong train (echoes)

Right track wrong train...

On the wrong train on the right track

We don't know if she'll ever come back

(Talking) What train is this ?

Something is happening so familiar to me

Is this the outer limits like on TV ?

Have a cup of coffee, have a nice day (talking)

"Yeah, yeah I'll be right there yeah.

I'm gonna get the next train yeah."
