Waitin' for a Train - Beck

I’m an alien from another sphere

The thing i like about the earth is the range of colors

Fantastic to mundane. Brilliant to dull

As i was penetrating the ozone, i perchanced to notice the orange peel-like

quality of the light playing upon the… The ocean

I gotta go right now; someone is videotaping me in my spaceship

All around a water tank

Just a-waiting for a train

A thousand miles away from home

Just a-waiting for’n the rain

I walked up to a break-man

Just to give him a line of talk

He said, «if you got money

I’ll see that you don’t walk.»

«I haven’t got a nickel;

Not a penny for to show.»

«Get off, get off, you railroad bum!»

And he slammed the boxcar door

They let me off in texas

A state i dearly love

The moon, the stars above me… And what else?
