Lyrics:

A straw headed woman, and a barrel chested man,
A pocket full of posies with a hat brim full of sand,
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes,

A dog chasing the tumbleweeds, across the sandy floor,
That drift along the platform, through the ticket office door,
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes (2x)

But don't tell me there's nothing coming, you don't fool me,
I hear the ghost train rumbling along the tracks - set them free,
And I hear them,
It's black and white don't try to hide (2x)

The station master's writing with a piece of orange chalk,
A hundred cancellations, still no one wants to walk,
Keep the hungry children from the skeletons in the back,
Paid to keep an eye out for the gipsy caravan,
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes (2x)

I hear the ghost train rumbling along the tracks - set them free,
And I hear them,
It's black and white don't try to hide (4x)
It's black and white - don't try (2x)
It's black and white don't try to hide (2x)
And I hear them,
It's black and white don't try to hide (2x)
