On a railway train to anywhere

Something happened finally.

The driver said he saw no station

And we were riding aimlessly.



The train was filled with sleeping passengers

Going nowhere for the ride;

Spoken whispers filled the carriages

No one cared to look outside.



Conversation aimed at anyone

Bouncing questions off the wall;

Except for two excited children.

Burning caterpillars in the hall.



All at onceI got quite frightened..

Standing upI gave a shout!

"i see a station just in front of me

Stop this train and let me out!"



The driver smiled and shook his head for me

"this train don't stop for anyone.

Andif you want to leave this railway line

You'll have to jump off on your own.



Someone came and gave me sandwiches

Saying that I looked unwell.

He took my pulse and he gave it back to me

And then he hit me with his bell.



He made a speech to all the passengers

He said "i've been a place today;

And anyone who'd care to come with me..

Step outside and walk this way."



Inside the seats were warm and comfortable

Outside the train was wild and strange.

I said"yessirI'd like to come with you

It's really time I made a change."



I left my seat and walked up front with him

And he began to push the door.

I looked outsidebut it nearly blinded me..

I'd never seen such light before.
