[Intro]
x4
[Verse 1]
Crushed in the corridor, swimming in smoke. Broken leg, aching head -
Tried polite conversation in braille. Broken French. My friend chews
his garlic, but he s dead from his head to his sandals.
I tear at the handle, we came to a shuddering stop and we topple like dominoes
Swallowed the hot tide of bread crumbs and cheap wine... The cavalry
Dived into action with batons... knives... they gave me a fine,
Ripped the shirt off my back, threw my case on the tracks -
Saw it smashed to a fragmented mess by the midnight express from Atlantis.
[Chorus]
OO-OO.
OO-OO.
OO-OO.
OO-OO.
OO-OO!
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
A manifestation of pure liquid light. Never stops at the stations, it flies overnight
As we crawl in a circle. The sinks overflow. All the windows are enclosed
And the ape on my shoulder s overdosed. He rattles a can for some change,
Then he rolls all over in pain, wraps his legs around my ankles.
I try to complain... All I want is a coffee and GET OFF THIS TRAIN!
[Chorus]
OO-OO - GET OFF THIS TRAIN!
OO-OO - GET OFF THIS TRAIN!
OO-OO - GET OFF THIS TRAIN!
OO-OO - GET OFF THIS TRAIN!
