[ music: John Lombardo/lyric: Natalie Merchant ]
Steep is the water tower
painted off blue to match the sky
can't ignore the train
night walks in the valley silent
you could swear the earth just moved
can't ignore the train
dust to be kicked up
in the crack faced
idle sinister town
screen door to the rail station
devil in her shoe
ran along side the wasted tracks
hem pins darted her calves
can't ignore the train
one spoiled girl with the tidiest apology
some how wedged inside her throat
can't ignore the train
patience their virtue
but I never could abide by that
dungeon life with electric light
a clean towel and a basin
mantle figures mind their place
laughs where they belong
through adventure we are not adventuresome
rage to share with a wardrobe mirror
in a room so beige and cold
can't ignore the train
window days saw the children pick their
street games on thirty afternoons
Molly the boys are
starting in the rhymic again
teasing more and more....
the second daughter
how she fell
young locked in Some Folk's Prison
made to dwell
til they're braiding
her grey hair
sitting in the wishing chair
sitting in the wishing chair
sitting in the wishing chair

Steep is the water tower  
painted off blue to match the sky  
can't ignore the train  
night walks in the valley silent  
you could swear the earth just moved  
can't ignore the train  
dust to be kicked up  
in the crack faced  
idle sinister town  
screen door to the rail station  
devil in her shoe  
ran along side the wasted tracks  
hem pins darted her calves  
can't ignore the train  
one spoiled girl with the tidiest apology  
some how wedged inside her throat  
can't ignore the train  
patience their virtue  
but I never could abide by that  
dungeon life with electric light  
a clean towel and a basin  
mantle figures mind their place  
laughs where they belong  
through adventure we are not adventuresome  
rage to share with a wardrobe mirror  
in a room so beige and cold  
can't ignore the train  
window days saw the children pick their  
street games on thirty afternoons  
Molly the boys are  
starting in the rhymic again  
teasing more and more....  
the second daughter  
how she fell  
young locked in Some Folk's Prison  
made to dwell  
til they're braiding  
her grey hair  
sitting in the wishing chair  
sitting in the wishing chair  
sitting in the wishing chair
