Have you ever heard a voice that tells you,
I'm not really here, theres somewhere else I oughta be.
I'd rather be most anywhere else.
I'd rather be poor and friendless.
And walking with myself,
Talking with myself,
And waiting, waiting,
For the next train to come.
Do you know a way to another town?
Have you got a smile to give me when I'm down?
Two bucks for an uptown fare.
Just take care, wake me when I'm there.
This train is making all local stops,
I didn't pay my fare but don't tell the cops.
Look out there's a signal up against us,
It won't matter when the bombs go off.
'Cause I'll be walking with myself,
Talking with myself,
And waiting, waiting,
For the next train to come.
Now it's come and gone.
And I've been waiting so long.
The train has come and gone.
And I've been waiting so long.
There was a guy on the train last week,
I couldn't tell if he's a beggar or a thief.
Two guys chased him down the track,
They went there, and no they never came back.
I'm sure there's some place he rather be
Than stuck underground with the likes of me.
When we're gone will the trains keep on rolling.
When we're dead will the soldiers be patrolling.
'Cause I'll be walking with myself,
Talking with myself,
And waiting, waiting,
For the next train.
'Cause I'll be walking with myself,
Talking with myself,
And waiting, waiting,
For the next train to come.
Now it's come and gone.
And I've been waiting so long.
The train has come and gone.
And I've been waiting so long.
