Can't Ignore the Train
Lyricist:John Lombardo, Natalie Merchant
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 in her calves
Can't ignore the train
One spoiled girl with the tidiest apology Some how wedged inside her throat
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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 places and 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, thirty, thirty afternoons Molly the boys are starting in that rhyme 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 gray hair sitting in the wishing chair Sitting in the wishing chair, sitting in the wishing chair
