White Train

[Verse 1]

Standing at my doorway

I wondered why his hand was painted red

"It's just a scratch," he said

Here we go again

We stumbled to the car

By the time we hit St Vincent's, he was white

I said, "You looked such a sight"

He said, "I don't feel no pain"

[Chorus]

And I know just what to do

And I know it's nothing new

We've been through this before

But I don't follow

Why must it be you?

[Verse 2]

I stuck until the end

Though you said I was no friend

But you were blind

I was much too kind

On a white train

Some will swill and some will sip

Some just find a place where they don't slip

Others take a kip

On a white train

[Chorus]

And I know just what to do

And I know it's nothing new

We've been through this before

But I don't follow

Why must it be you?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

And I know just what to do

And I know it's nothing new

We've been through this before

But I don't follow

Why must it be you?

On a white train

Why must it be you?

On a white train

Why must it be you?

On a white train
