Born on a Train (Magnetic Fields cover) Lyrics
I know that you were never young
And I know you probably won't get old
But honey, nobody's going to hurt you anymore
And nobody's going to make you want to die
But I've been making promises I know I'll never keep
One of these days I'm going to leave you in your sleep
I have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name
Baby, I was born on a train
Some roads you only seen at night
Ghost roads, nothing but neon signs
But some nights the neon gas gets free
And turns into walking dead like me
But I've been making promises I know I'll never keep
One of these days I'm going to leave you in your sleep
I have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name
Baby, I was born on a train
I called one morning cold and grey
You won't remember anything
Some of us don't believe in time
And some of us don't believe in life
But I've been making promises I know I'll never keep
One of these days I'm going to leave you in your sleep
I'll have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name
Baby, I was born on a train
Baby, I was born on a train
Baby, I was born on a train
Baby, I was born on a train
Baby, I was born on a train
And I know you probably won't get old
But honey, nobody's going to hurt you anymore
And nobody's going to make you want to die
One of these days I'm going to leave you in your sleep
I have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name
Baby, I was born on a train
Ghost roads, nothing but neon signs
But some nights the neon gas gets free
And turns into walking dead like me
One of these days I'm going to leave you in your sleep
I have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name
Baby, I was born on a train
You won't remember anything
Some of us don't believe in time
And some of us don't believe in life
One of these days I'm going to leave you in your sleep
I'll have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name
Baby, I was born on a train
Baby, I was born on a train
Baby, I was born on a train
Baby, I was born on a train
Baby, I was born on a train

i am a little shocked noone has commented yet. not quite as amazing as the magnetic fields orginal, but still pretty good. pretty easy to understand - he has a wandering heart.

lovely song. i didn't like that he sounds so old, though i like that his voice sounds like one who's travelled alot/seen too much. i liked the magnetic fields version better.
grossssss
