Magnetic Fields - Born on a Train
Some roads are only seen at nightGhost roads, nothing but neon signs
But some nights the neon gas gets free
And turns into walking dead like me
And I've been making promises I know I'll never keep
One of these days I'm gonna leave you in your sleep
I'll have to go when the whistle blows
The whistle knows my name
Baby, I was born on a train
Well, I know that you were never young
And I know you probably won't get old
But, honey, nobody's gonna hurt you anymore
And nobody's gonna make you wanna die
And I've been making promises I know I'll never keep
One of these days I'm gonna leave you in your sleep
I'll have to go when the whistle blows
The whistle knows my name
Baby, I was born on a train
I'll go some cold and gray morning
And you won't remember anything
Well, some people don't believe in dying
And some of us don't believe in life
And I've been making promises I know I'll never keep
One of these days I'm gonna leave you in your sleep
I'll have to go when the whistle blows
The whistle knows my name
Baby, I was born on a train
Baby, I was born on a train
