Roches - The Train lyrics

rate me

(Words & Music by Suzzy Roche)<br />

<br />

I sit down on the train<br />

With my big pocketbook<br />

The guitar and a sugar-free drink<br />

I wipe the sweat off of my brow<br />

With the side of my arm<br />

And take off all that I can<br />

<br />

I am trying not to have a bad day<br />

Everybody knows the way that is<br />

<br />

Even though my baggage and I<br />

Are using up a two person seat<br />

I'm not trying to be funny<br />

But the guy who sits down next to me<br />

Is even bigger than that<br />

We are overflowing out of the seat<br />

I can't look at him<br />

He doesn't look at me<br />

<br />

Once you step on<br />

You might never get off<br />

Of the commuter train<br />

It doesn't go very far away<br />

But just the same<br />

It s a trip and a half<br />

<br />

My face is pressed up<br />

Against the window<br />

And through it I can see<br />

The reflection of the train<br />

I spy on the big guy<br />

Sitting next to me<br />

He's drinking two beers<br />

And reading the New York Post<br />

Trying not to get in my way<br />

Everybody knows the kind of day that is<br />

<br />

He is miserable<br />

I am miserable<br />

We are miserable<br />

Can't we have a party<br />

Would he rather have a party<br />

After all we have to sit here<br />

And he's even drinking a beer<br />

I want to ask him what's his name<br />

But I can't cause I'm so afraid<br />

Of the man on the train
