[Verse 1]
Venus, stop the train
For the brakeman lost his place
Satellites were spinning in outer space
They televised her feelings, while the light
The light struck terror

[Chorus]
I kept my distance because she fell in love with everyone
Smoking grass and taking Christmas trees
She fell in love with me
I was polite to her
A soft sadness had her much more than her loneliness

[Verse 2]
Her father warmed the benches
Vice president of southern branches
He reached out to her when her mother slept
He would never forget the light
The light, the light striking terror

[Chorus]
I kept my distance because she fell in love with everyone
Smoking grass and taking Christmas trees
She fell in love with me
I was polite to her
A soft sadness had her much more than her loneliness
