The Blue Train
Shadow Person
I’m thinking about that blue train, coming around the bend
I’m wondering about my suitcase, I’m wondering again
I’m thinking about tomorrow, and what it has in store
I’m looking at that doorknob, and opening that door
And I don’t think I can live like this, and I don’t think I want to try
And I don’t think I can do this again, just to say goodbye
I’m thinking about my money, how far will it go?
I’m wondering if you realize, maybe you know?
I’m typing on my keyboard, a letter to you
But when I am finished, will I really be through?
And I don’t wanna live like this anymore, and I don’t think that I even can
And I don’t know what it means anymore
To be a Modern Man
When I look at you I feel strange, I’m not quite at ease
It didn’t used to be this way. It’s probably me.
And when I get home again, I start looking at the clock
I’ll take a walk to the bay, and take a nap on the dock
Cuz I don’t even like to live like this and I didn’t ever want to try
When I want to gaze up at the moon, it’s always hidden by the sky
