Stephin Merritt - Born on a Train lyrics

[Verse 1] Some roads are 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 [Chorus] And I've been making promises I know I'll never keep One of these days I'm gonna 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 [Verse 2] Well, I know that you were never young And I know you probably won't get old But, honey, nobody's gonna hurt you anymore And nobody's gonna make you wanna die [Chorus] [Verse 3] I'll go some cold and gray morning And you won't remember anything Well, some people don't believe in time And some of us don't believe in life [Chorus] Baby, I was born on a train
