Right Track Wrong Train Lyrics - Cyndi Lauper

The train was leaving at 10 after 10 

I got to the station just in time to check in 

I've been luggin' my bags all around 

I'm trying hard to never knock people down 

But I see I left a few on the ground 

And as the train pulls away I can hear the conductor say 

Right track wrong train (echoes) 

Right track wrong train (echoes) 

I'm not to blame (echo) 

Right track wrong train... train 

I read my schedule but my train wasn't there 

They read my ticket, it said going nowhere 

Everybody had the same tatooed face 

All the women and men just dressed in lace 

Oh I gotta get out of this place 

Should got off before the engineer locked the door 

Right track wrong train (echoes) 

Right track wrong train (echoes) 

I'm not to blame (echo) 

Right track wrong train, train train train hey ! 

"Hey that's a neat tatoo you're wearing. By the way where'd you get it ? 

Uh huh. Say is this an express train ? Uh huh. 

Snack bar ? Uh huh. Uh huh." 

Something is happening so familiar to me 

Is this the outer limits like on TV ? 

Another empty town fading to gray 

Another open home sign on the way 

Have a cup of coffee, have a nice day 

And as the train pushes off, 

We're headed for Babylon 

Oh no... 

Right track wrong train (echoes) 

Right track wrong train (echoes) 

Right track wrong train... 

On the wrong train on the right track 

we don't know if she'll ever come back 

(Talking) What train is this ? 

Something is happening so familiar to me 

Is this the outer limits like on tv ? 

Have a cup of coffe, have a nice day (talking) 

"Yeah, yeah I'll be right there yeah. I'm gonna get the next train 

yeah."
