Tie me to the track with my ear to the rail   But wait for the very last moment to save me   Or we could fight on top like a Western, jump from car to car   Not noticing the tunnel is approaching   And when were in the tunnel, you become another person   And we lay down and let the darkness enfold us      Trains, I wish I was on that train   I wish I was on that train with you   Trains, there's something about a train   That always makes me think of you      On the Peking to Paris, you're a sculptor, I'm an heiress   I'm running from my husband, you're running from the law   But there's agents at the border so I hide you in my cabin   Of course I let you spend the night not knowing who you are   And when I let you out, you become another person   And we lay down and let the darkness enfold us      Trains, I wish I was on that train   I wish I was on that train with you   Trains, there's something about a train   That always makes me think of you, think of you      Wish I was on that train   Wish I was on that train   Wish I was on that train with you      We're two hobos on the box car, you and your five o'clock shadow   Me and my harmonica and a duffel on a stick   Or you're a soldier coming back from the war   I'm the lover waiting on the platform   It's so steamy you're not sure it's me waving   And when I close my eyes, I become another person   And we lay down and let the darkness enfold us
