"Trains Still Run On Time" lyrics

"Trains Still Run On Time"

I got a friend who's blank
And he spends his days
In a constant haze
Never leaves a trace
It's a crime that pays
He's a textbook case

Pray for a miracle
A wrinkle in time
The wind is ephemeral
Always blows my mind
Hear the music box unwind

Begging to be born
Another unicorn, in a uniform
It's a thing you hate
Another switch and bait, that you abhor

Made in America, on a factory floor
There's a Disney character, breaking down the door
And the orchestra plays
A cartoon score for war

No separation
No Berlin Wall
No celebration
No confusion
When it falls

Made in America, on an assembly line
Where they make mass hysteria, yeah it's all streamlined
Nobody bats an eye
'Cause the trains still run on time

Trains still run on time (yes they do)
Trains still run on time (trains still run on time)
Trains still run on time (yeah they do)
Trains still run on time
