Lyrics of Born On a Train by The Magnetic Fields
verse
Some roads are only seen at night
Ghost roads, nothing but neon signs
But some nights, the neon gas gets free
And turns into walking dead like me
chorus
And I've been making promises I know I'll never keep
One of these days, I'm gonna leave you in your sleep
I'll have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name
Baby, I was born on a train
verse
Oh, I know that you were never young
And I know you prob'ly won't get old
But honey, nobody's gonna hurt you anymore
And nobody's gonna make you wanna die
chorus
And I've been making promises I know I'll never keep
One of these days, I'm gonna leave you in your sleep
I'll have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name
Baby, I was born on a train
verse
I'll go some cold and grey morning
And you won't remember anything
Well, some people don't believe in time
And some of us don't believe in life
chorus
And I've been making promises I know I'll never keep
One of these days, I'm gonna leave you in your sleep
I'll have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name
Baby, I was born on a train
Baby, I was born on a train
