Ride Lyrics - Singles - Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians

The leaves on the table are all turning grey 

The first time she saw you, she hoped you were gay 

It's hard to recover when you're the disease 

But I'm ready, I swear it, I'm walking around in these 

Railway shoes, In my railway shoes 

The ghost of your father is right by your side 

He's so close to you that he's almost inside 

He's guiding your head and he's guiding your limbs 

But he isn't you, and you know you're not him 

In your railway shoes, In your railway shoes 

Take the train, take the other train, mister and stand by 

Take the train, take the other train, honey and ride 

Madam, I burn for you night after day 

I'm empty without you and colder than clay 

The wax on my body is making me cold 

But I'll never be able to go where I'm told in my 

Railway shoes, In my railway shoes 

In my railway shoes, In my railway shoes 

Take the train, take the other train, honey and stand by 

Take the train, take the other train, mister and ride 

Ride, ride, ride
