Cyndi Lauper
Right Train, Wrong Track (B-Side)
[Verse 1]
The train was leaving at 10 after 10
I got to the station just in time to check in
I've been luggin' my bags all around
I'm trying hard to never knock people down
But I see I left a few on the ground
And as the train pulls away
I can hear the conductor say
[Chorus]
Right track, wrong train (Right track, wrong train)
Right track, wrong train (Right track, wrong train)
I'm not to blame (Not to blame)
Right track wrong train
Train
[Verse 2]
I read my schedule but my train wasn't there
They read my ticket, it said going nowhere
Everybody had the same tattooed face
All the women and men dressed in lace
Oh, I gotta get out of this place
Should've got off before
The engineer locked the door
[Chorus]
Right track, wrong train (Right track, wrong train)
Right track, wrong train (Right track, wrong train)
I'm not to blame (Not to blame)
Right track, wrong train, train, train, train, hey!
[Bridge]
Hey that's a neat tattoo you're wearing
By the way, where'd you get it?
Uh, huh
Say, is this an express train?
Uh, huh
Snack bar?
Uh, huh
Uh, huh
[Verse 3]
Something is happening so familiar to me
Is this the Outer Limits like on TV?
Another empty town fading to gray
Another open home sign on the way
Have a cup of coffee, have a nice day (Hey!)
And as the train pushes off
We're headed for Babylon
[Interlude]
Oh no ...
[Chorus]
Right track, wrong train, woah! (Right track, wrong train)
Right track, wrong train (Right track, wrong train)
Right track, wrong train (Right track, wrong train)
Right track, wrong train
(On the wrong train, on the right track
We don't know if she'll ever come back)
What train is this?
(Something is happening so familiar to me)
(Is this the Outer Limits like on TV?)
(Have a cup of coffee, have a nice day, hey!)
Right track...
