Lyrics Waitin' for a Train - Beck

Waitin' for a Train

I’m an alien from another sphere
The thing i like about the earth is the range of colors
Fantastic to mundane. Brilliant to dull
As i was penetrating the ozone, i perchanced to notice the orange peel-like
quality of the light playing upon the… The ocean
I gotta go right now; someone is videotaping me in my spaceship
All around a water tank
Just a-waiting for a train
A thousand miles away from home
Just a-waiting for’n the rain
I walked up to a break-man
Just to give him a line of talk
He said, «if you got money
I’ll see that you don’t walk.»
«I haven’t got a nickel;
Not a penny for to show.»
«Get off, get off, you railroad bum!»
And he slammed the boxcar door
They let me off in texas
A state i dearly love
The moon, the stars above me… And what else?
