On a railway train to anywhere,
Something happened finally
The driver said he saw no station
And we were riding aimlessly

The train was filled with sleeping passengers,
Going nowhere for the ride;
Spoken whispers filled the carriages
No one cared to look outside

Conversation aimed at anyone
Bouncing questions off the wall;
Except for two excited children
Burning caterpillars in the hall

All at once, I got quite frightened
Standing up, I gave a shout!
"I see a station just in front of me ,
Stop this train and let me out!"

The driver smiled and shook his head for me,
"This train don't stop for anyone
And, if you want to leave this railway line,
You'll have to jump off on your own

Someone came and gave me sandwiches,
Saying that I looked unwell
He took my pulse and he gave it back to me,
And then he hit me with his bell

He made a speech to all the passengers,
He said "I've been a place today;
And anyone who'd care to come with me
Step outside and walk this way"

Inside the seats were warm and comfortable,
Outside the train was wild and strange
I said, "Yes, sir, I'd like to come with you,
It's really time I made a change"

I left my seat and walked up front with him,
And he began to push the door
I looked outside, but it nearly blinded me
I'd never seen such light before
