I've been waiting on a train She runs from stoplight to hydrant I asked her where the fire was And put it out I've been waiting on a train She runs on green rice and mint toothpicks And her tracks go up my back He was grabbing at thin air Had his arms waving around Crooked at the elbow reaching for a light I've been waiting on a train She don't pay attention to her watch 'Cause she knows what she's got around her finger I've been waiting on a train She's gonna snowball this place Bad luck and trouble are her only friends He was still breathing in there Trapped behind his eyes Bet that he could hear me say goodbye The atmosphere was dark and dry In the room where he made his home I wish i wasn't leaving already Shut the door, shut the door Get the phone, get the phone
