born on a train

The Magnetic Fields

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.

And Iââ?¬â?¢ve been making promises I know Iââ?¬â?¢ll never keep.
One of these days Iââ?¬â?¢m gonna leave you in your sleep.
Iââ?¬â?¢ll have to go when the whistle blows;
The whistle knows my name.
Baby, I was born on a train.

Well I know that you were never young--
And I know you probably wonââ?¬â?¢t get old--
But honey nobodyââ?¬â?¢s gonna hurt you anymore,
And nobodyââ?¬â?¢s gonna make you want to die.

And Iââ?¬â?¢ve been making promises I know Iââ?¬â?¢ll never keep.
One of these days Iââ?¬â?¢m gonna leave you in your sleep.
Iââ?¬â?¢ll have to go when the whistle blows;
The whistle knows my name.
Baby, I was born on a train.

Iââ?¬â?¢ll go some cold and gray morning,
And you wonââ?¬â?¢t remember anything.
But some people donââ?¬â?¢t believe in dying,
And some of us donââ?¬â?¢t believe in life.

And Iââ?¬â?¢ve been making promises I know Iââ?¬â?¢ll never keep.
One of these days Iââ?¬â?¢m gonna leave you in your sleep.
Iââ?¬â?¢ll have to go when the whistle blows;
The whistle knows my name.
Baby, I was born on a train.
