10.000 MANIACS lyrics : "Can't Ignore The Train"

Steep is the water tower
painted off blue to match the sky


can't ignore the train

night walks in the valley silent

you could swear the earth just moved

can't ignore the train


dust to be kicked up
in the crack faced

idle sinister town
screen door to the rail station
devil in her shoe


ran along side the wasted tracks
hem pins darted her calves


can't ignore the train


one spoiled girl with the tidiest apology
some how wedged inside her throat


can't ignore the train

patience their virtue

but I never could abide by that
dungeon life with electric light
a clean towel and a basin

mantle figures mind their place
laughs where they belong


through adventure we are not adventuresome

rage to share with a wardrobe mirror

in a room so beige and cold

can't ignore the train


window days saw the children pick their
street games on thirty afternoons


Molly the boys are
starting in the rhymic again

teasing more and more....

the second daughter

how she fell
young locked in Some Folk's Prison
made to dwell

til they're braiding
her grey hair


sitting in the wishing chair
sitting in the wishing chair
sitting in the wishing chair
