The Train Lyrics - The Roches

I sit down on the train with my big pocketbook the guitar 

And a sugar-free drink, I wipe the sweat off of my brow 

With the side of my arm, and I take off all that I can 

I am trying not to have a bad day, now everybody knows the way that is 

Even though my baggage and I are using up a two person seat 

I'm not trying to be funny, but the guy who sits down next to me 

Is even bigger than that, we are overflowing out of the seat 

And I can't look at him, he doesn't look at me 

Once you step on 

You might never get off of the commuter train 

Doesn't go very far away, but just the same 

It's a trip and a half 

My face is pressed up against the window and through it I can see 

The reflection of the train, I spy on the big guy sitting next to me 

He's drinking two beers and reading the New York Post 

Trying not to get in my way, now everybody knows the kind of day that is 

He is miserable and I am miserable, we are miserable 

Can't we have a party? Would he rather have a party? 

After all we have to sit here and he's even drinking a beer 

I want to ask him what's his name 

But I can't 'cause I'm so afraid of the man on the train 

Once you step on 

You might never get off of the commuter train 

Doesn't go very far away, but just the same 

It's a trip and a half 

Get me off of this train 

Get us off the train
