"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

It rains a lot this time of year

Never keep your eyelids clipped
Hold me for the pops and clicks

Andrew Bird - "Fake Palindromes" My dewy-eyed Disney bride, what has tried
Swapping your blood with formaldehyde?
Monsters?
Whiskey-plied voices cried fratricide!
Jesus don't you know that you could've died
