Lyrics

Plains

[Verse 1]

I was listening to the trains

I was up all night

And something glistened

In the strange blood-diffused light

My friend was missing

And I was ghost

I was flame, I was bright

I was listening to the trains

I was up all night

[Chorus]

Oh, James

You've got no reason to stay in these plains

[Verse 2]

I was racing against time

With this friend of mine

Collapsing just before

We reach the end of the line

He was lifted, diamond straight

Straight was cold, cold was black

And black was glistening

All the night, the sound remained

[Chorus]

Oh, James

You've got no reason to stay in these plains

[Outro]

These plains

Are barren and hateful terrain

And what remains

Is the sound of trains
