Paroles de Waitin' For A Train

Spoken: I'm an alien from another sphere.
The thing I like about the Earth is the range of colors:
Fantastic to mundane,
Brilliant to dull.
As I was penetrating ozone,
I perchanced to notice to notice the orange peel like quality of the light playing upon the s... the ocean.
I gotta go right now.
Someone is videotaping me in my spaceship.
All around the water tank
Just a-waitin' for a train
A thousand miles away from home
Just a-waitin for 'n to rain
I walked up to a brakeman
Just to give him a line of talk
He said, "If you got money,
I'll see that you don't walk"
I haven't got a nickle
Not a penny for to show
"Get off, get off, you railroad bum"
And he slammed the boxcar door
Well let me off in Texas
A state I dearly love
The moon and stars above me
And what else?
