I'm sittin' in the railway station, got a ticket for my destination

Mmh mmh

On a tour of one-night stands, my suitcase and guitar in hand

And every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band

Every day's an endless stream of cigarettes and magazines

Mmh mmh

And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories

And every stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be

Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend

Mmh mmh mmh

But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity

Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me

Silently for me
