Beck - Waitin' For A Train lyrics

[the following intro is spoken over someone speaking in french And english, perhaps giving a french lesson]: I'm an alien from another sphere. the thing i like about the Earth is the range of colours -- fantastic to mundane; brilliant To dull. as i was penetrating the ozone, i c.. perchanced to Notice the orange peel-like quality of the light playing upon the S.. the ocean. i gotta go right now; someone is videotaping me In my spaceship. All around a water tank Just a-waitin' for a train A thousand miles away from home Just a-waitin' in the rain I walked up to a breakman Just to give him a line of talk He said, if you got money, I'll see that you don't walk I haven't got a nickel, Not a penny for to show Get off, get off, you railroad bum And he slammed the boxcar door They let me off in texas A state i dearly love The moon 'n' stars above me... and what else?
