10,000 Maniacs Can't Ignore The Train Lyrics

Steep is the water tower
Painted off blue to match the sky
Can't ignore the train

Night walks in the valley silent
You could swear the earth just moved
Can't ignore the train

Dust to be kicked up
In the crack faced idle sinister town

Screen door to the rail station
The Devil in her
She ran alongside the wasted tracks
Hem pins darted in her calves
Can't ignore the train

One spoiled girl with the tidiest apology
Somehow wedged inside her throat
Can't ignore the train

Patience their virtue
But I never could abide by that
Dungeon life with electric lights
A clean towel in the basin
Mantle figures mind their places
And laughs where they belong

Through adventure we are not adventuresome
Rage to share with a wardrobe mirror
In a room so beige and cold
Can't ignore the train

Wind blown days saw the children play
Their street games
On dirty, dirty, dirty afternoons

Molly the boys are starting in that rhyme again
Teasing more and more....
The second daughter, how she fell
Young locked in Some Folk's Prison
Made to dwell
Til they're braiding her grey hair
Sitting in the wishing chair
Sitting in the wishing chair
Sitting in the wishing chair
