| On a railway train to anywhere
|
| Something happened finally
|
| The driver said he saw no station
|
| And we were riding aimlessly
|
| The train was filled with sleeping passengers
|
| Going nowhere for the ride;
|
| Spoken whispers filled the carriages
|
| No one cared to look outside
|
| Conversation aimed at anyone
|
| Bouncing questions off the wall;
|
| Except for two excited children
|
| Burning caterpillars in the hall
|
| All at once, I got quite frightened.
|
| Standing up, I gave a shout!
|
| «i see a station just in front of me
|
| Stop this train and let me out! |
| "
|
| The driver smiled and shook his head for me
|
| «this train don’t stop for anyone
|
| And, if you want to leave this railway line
|
| You’ll have to jump off on your own
|
| Someone came and gave me sandwiches
|
| Saying that I looked unwell
|
| He took my pulse and he gave it back to me
|
| And then he hit me with his bell
|
| He made a speech to all the passengers
|
| He said «i've been a place today;
|
| And anyone who’d care to come with me.
|
| Step outside and walk this way. |
| "
|
| Inside the seats were warm and comfortable
|
| Outside the train was wild and strange
|
| I said, «yes, sir, I’d like to come with you
|
| It’s really time I made a change. |
| "
|
| I left my seat and walked up front with him
|
| And he began to push the door
|
| I looked outside, but it nearly blinded me.
|
| I’d never seen such light before |
