"The Passenger" lyrics
"The Passenger"
7:49
Night train right on time
Climb the steel stairs
Absinthe brandy wine
Spirits moving in the steam
Compartment forest green
The rattle of the rails
You fall into a dream
High clouds in the sky
Moon goes racing by
Another sleepless night
So you speed into daylight
Here comes another strange town
Here comes another breakdown
And you can run forever
They'll catch you now or never
In the tainted car
And then later in the bar
You see yourself reflected
I wonder who you are
The passengers asleep
Dream of secrets that they keep
In the cabin next to you
A woman starts to weep
Oh [?] day
The things you knew all fall away
The things you had all disappear
As if you were never here
Here comes another strange town
Here comes another breakdown
And you can run forever
They'll catch you now or never
And when you arrive
You're not sure if you're alive
All the passengers are gone
Everybody except one
Station quiet, station still
Nothing moves and nothing will
Put your hand up to your face
There are things you can't replace
Here comes another strange town
Here comes another breakdown
And you can run forever
They'll catch you now or never
Here comes another strange town
Here comes another breakdown
And you can run forever
They'll catch you now or never

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
(you should've died)...
The Bird And The Bee - "Love Letter To Japan" From the west to the east I have flown to be near you
I have come all this way to be close, to be here with you
And now, all my heart I will lay down precisely at your feet
My beloved, oh my...
Tegan And Sara - "Nineteen" I felt you in my legs
Before I even met you
And when I laid beside you
For the first time
I told you
I feel you in my heart,
And I don't even know you
Now we're saying
Bye, bye, bye
Now we're saying...
Imogen Heap - "First Train Home" Got to get on it
Got to get on it
Got to get on it
Bodies disengage, our mouths are fleshing over
As hiss and echo gain, irises retreat into ovals of white
The urge to feel your face
In blood,...
The Postal Service - "Such Great Heights" I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate
That God himself did make
Us into corresponding shapes...
