== Lyrics == <poem style="border: 1px solid #8eb6d4; background-color: #0b0b14; padding-left: 1em; padding-right: 3em; border-radius: 10px; width: fit-content"> Well, I was standing on a train track on a midnight blue Trying to remember where I left my shoes And in a natural way, my thoughts returned to you So, I walked into a honky tonk jukebox saloon To reflect on my losses and rock to some tunes I thought it all through, then I figured out what to do I started working for the train, train, feedly-dang Feedle-otten deeten-do dangy-do Feedle-otten deeten-do ding, train true I started working for the train when I was looking for you Yeah, sprung from the ward, steel brain pan, pity, pity Looked you up in Freehold for a face that I could trust The foreman said you left out in some kind of state He pointed at the office, it was already late I smoothed my hair down and went and talked to the boss He was weary, short-tempered, and had one eye on the clock He said I had just seconds to make my case I put one hand on his shoulder and stuck the other in his face And I said, "Feelings, feelings, are somewhat symptomatic "Of societal abrasions that conform electric static" He said, "Son, I don't think you have much of a brain" I said, "You gotta have a brain when you're working for the train" Well, it's a long run from Trenton when you start about five Some folks are tired and hungry, some are barely alive But when that engine starts pumping those familiar tones I don't care where the train is going 'cause I'm already home It's been a long year dancing up and down that aisle Pestering my savior just to let me see your smile The salesman was drunk, my training shot to the fore I put my shoulder in his gut and knocked his samples on the floor And I said, "Feelings, feelings, are somewhat symptomatic "Of societal abrasions that conform electric static" He said, "Sir, I don't think you have much of a brain" I said, "You gotta have a brain when you're working for the train" Train, train, feedly-dang Feedle-otten deeten-do dangy-do Feedle-otten deeten-do ding, train true I started working for the train when I was looking for you The Princeton junction depot is straight known to be staid They wear houndstooth and khaki, most have already paid I looked up in my visor, my heart stuck like it got froze Lipstick like a sixties 'Vette and polish on your toes You had half a smile watching me, shaking like a hound As triumph filled my body, missing love had been found I whooped and called "Metuchen" as I stepped through the door I put my hands around your hips and kissed you then and evermore And I said, "Feelings, feelings, are somewhat symptomatic "Of societal abrasions that conform electric static" She said, "Some folks say you don't have much of a brain" But you gotta have a brain 'cause you're working for the train Train, train, feedly-dang Feedle-otten deeten-do dangy-do Feedle-otten deeten-do ding, train true I started working for the train when I was looking for you Yeah, I started working for the train, train, feedly-dang Feedle-otten deeten-do dangy-do Feedle-otten deeten-do ding, train true I started working for the train, and now I've finally found you Yeah, I finally found you Yeah, I finally found you Yeah, I finally found you Whoo, I finally found you</poem>
