Strangers on a Train Songtext

von Lovage

Pardon me, sir, is this seat taken?
I overheard you say, "not stirred, but shaken"
And I could really throw one back

Such thirst doesn't always permit for tact
So, if you would, sir, pardon me
A stiff one is my specialty

Oh, you're very charming, sir
No, here's to you
I don't want to know your name or what you do
I know, here's to strangers on a train
Strangers on a train

Oh, I think we're going faster
From the mountains to the pasture
Just look at that scenery
It's lovely (2x)

I really like to ride the train
Especially when I forget where I'm going
I really like the way it feels
Motion, heavy wheels

As the raging sparks are flying
From the wounded rails still crying
Battling the scenery
It's lovely (4x)

I really like to ride the train
Especially when I forget where I'm going
I really like the way it feels
Motion, heavy wheels

Molten metal
Oh I'd better go
This is my station, you know
I've had a lovely time
Oh, the pleasure's mine
All mine
