Hey mister train driver won't you take me home,
I'm feeling oh so tired now so tired of being alone.
I want to be back with the ones I love where the air is fresh and clean,
oh mister train driver why d'you have to be so mean?
Oh mister train driver you can make me feel so high.
When we're flying on the ground or up there in the sky.
I can't come down when you're by my side,
oh mister train driver don't you run and hide.
Mister train driver, you know if you try you surely can
Mister train driver I'm your biggest fan
Oh mister train driver you knew that you could,
just help your fellow man by being so good,
get us home train driver just as fast as you can
oh please mister train driver you're my favourite man
Mister train driver, I know you're on my side
Keep that stock-a-rollin' deep into the night

I Walked Around

I walked around the edge of the island
I dipped my toes into the icy waters and
I couldn't wait for the sun.
I climbed on top of the dusty mountain
Took a seat nearer to my God
But he didn't even want to come.
And I I I thought that I could fly.
The snow fell deep and the window's broken
I couldn't tell if we were joking
Or if we were even having fun.
And I I I thought I was the one.
There were fishes in the sea around the island
I tried to catch one but it slipped through my fingers
And I wondered if I should have brought a gun.
Been to the top of the crazy mountain
Seen the view of all the great cities
But you and I would never have the time.
